If I'm reading that right, and some of the comments seem to come right out and say it, doing the usual auto-update through the Homebrew Channel will now render it immune to this system update and thus safe since that's the only thing I've hacked onto my Wii? I can't believe Nintendo was so dense that they hardcoded the program ID so that just changing the name of the program fixes it.

Yeah pretty much. You're safe if you install homebrew stuff using the latest version of HackMii before updating. You're also OK to do a fresh install on 4.2 firmware if everything from your old homebrew is gone, as far as I can tell. Nintendo did indeed take a pretty unsophisticated approach to removing homebrew, although I'm not sure if
all the various hacked IOS will work after this upgrade. The important ones, sure...

Seems like that might not even be an issue if you're using homebrew. They did say they fixed up the buggy bootloader, so if you're using their new one everything should be fine. I'm not about to risk it, but it's good to know I'm probably covered...
