I think it would be a big mistake to ROM system code.  The code would be, in
effect, a dinosaur encased in artic ice -- an historical curiosity.  Who's
willing to say that the hardware will not outlive the software?  Let's hope
the hardware is around to see many software improvements!
 
Besides, if you put stuff in ROM it is less of a serious, open machine and
more of a super arcade game...
