Respectfully speaking, the fact Bosch's future roadmap includes a CPU architecture that allows for dynamic decryption of EEPROM contents allows them, at the very least, a greater level of security against future reverse engineering, and possible future IP leaks allows them to hit two birds with one stone: stopping aftermarket recalibration, and hamstringing future reverse engineering efforts to determine what they may do in their software. They've learned from this experience. ;-)
Sadly, the ability to do what we do will suffer.
Yes I agree with that, by 2020 I expect after market tuning will be a distant memory for many brands.

One lesson is this: don't document any questionable features.

Yeah I know, I am only making that assumption based on the new CPU's that they'll start using that have been designed around preventing tampering and GM at least tend to have about a 5 or 6 year life cycle on ECM's before the next model starts to appear. That would mean for the E92, E80 etc they are just a few years off being replaced if their replacement time lines continue as they've always done.

If there's a glimmer of hope in this regard, it's that in the case of the T87A they basically took identical hardware and applied the digital signatures to a unit that otherwise had very minor hardware changes from T87. This suggests they COULD do this to any existing ECU (E80, E92, et al) but have stopped short of doing so, with the obvious exception of the E41 (which IS an entirely new design, but related to the E98).
Perhaps for the time being, they just wanted people out of the diesels (both engine and transmission - and gas A8/A9/A10s transmissions were collateral damage). Also, there's other NEW GM ECU designs that have come to market for 2017 that have not employed the digital signatures.
Hard to say, it's like reading tea leaves.
Especially when the E38/E67 were used for almost 10 years and the T43 is still being used (2005 was first IIRC), there's still hope as sn00py pointed out. But who knows, it's definitely up to GM's whims. I bet there some KPIs around warranty claims and associated costs behind their decision...
