If they are not going to bring it back then they need to update some of these protocols for accurate timing within a given sequence.
I'm wondering why Apple is doing all these wonky, hard to remember and quite frankly stupid key combinations for various things like resetting PRAM, internet recovery of the OS, booting disk utility and so on.

Just replace ALL of that nonsense with ONE key press: OPTION, which is right there on the keyboard. Put an on-screen indicator showing the squiggle while the computer POSTs, so people know they can press it. Then show a screen with alternatives which the user can select from, and BOOM: DONE.
 
Yeah, I saw the VRM rumors swirling last night. If it is indeed a power delivery issue that can be fixed with software Apple will probably fix it relatively quickly.

I wonder how they didn't catch it before shipping the machines...
I get the sense that Apple were particularly rushed with this release because of the keyboard issue. Still, it's not like this is a difficult problem to spot.
