Don't believe what Nintendo's saying: It's actually their attempt at stamping out piracy.
The scene is on the virge of blowing open the 3DS hardware since the efforts to extract its public key from the 3DS CPU began in early March.

Both Andrew Ringer and Gaasedelen are apparently working on breaking open understanding the 3DS firmware and how their games interface with 3DS and such.
As of now, the [DATA REDACTED FOR BADSPOT REASONS] (I am not advertising a flashcart on the forums) 3DS flashcart only works on 4.1-4.5 firmware so by enforcing new hardware to only use 7.0+ firmware Nintendo is hoping to minimize damage caused by full understanding of 3DS hardware and allow developers to use new 3DS hardware to secure their games. This may or may not end in disaster, because you cant change the public and private key for a console. Not without releasing an entirely new platform anyway.
I do not endorse piracy of course, and you shouldn't either, but that's just how the scene works. It helps to have an ear to the ground. Also I might be insulting someone saying that reverse engineering of hardware always leads to piracy, but it doesn't always lead there. Unfortunately, richardweeds always abuse the efforts of curious geniuses for their own selfish desires. This is why we can't have nice things.
