While I like your optimism, the supposed change by Bosch is much much much more complex than past lock outs. If what ECUTEK is saying is true, it will take someone to understand this at the block level and figure out a workaround to tune it. And those engineers don't work for tuners they work for the chipmakers and design houses.
