Why is it important to hot-swap the CPU? Who is this phone for? This is either a mobile high-availability server or engineer wanking.

Engineer wanking.

I believe this is like an eternal prototype, not meant for mainstream.

Make a fat, ugly device with low battery life and experiment with different concepts.

I assumption is they'll take learnings from Project Ara and apply it to a new, 'production' phone that has like a detachable camera or something.
