I don't think anyone is looking for a free lunch.  I certainly am not.  All
I want is the _opportunity_ to upgrade my machine to current standards. I
will pay a reasonable amount of money to do so.  I don't expect Apple to take
my SE/30 up to IIfx performance for free.

One of the "exciting new features" of the SE/30 was that ROM SIMM, which was
added in order to make ROM upgrades easier, according to both media reporting
and Apple's own documentation.  All I am asking is for Apple to deliver on that
implicit promise.
