What do you mean by Consumer version? It's been established it's the media portion that's being rewritten, anything else is wrong.
I assumed it meant that the consumer version consists of stuff that's in the consumer version and not in the other versions.  Which is what you said.  And it's what the Slashdot article said.  I noticed that most people who replied to the Slashdot post seemed to think they were rewriting the entire OS, which is not the case.  It's a case of misunderstanding.

Agreed, I'm just mad at other sites who use Slashdot as a source then post some warped information. Weather or not he meant that is a different issue and I'm sure they didn't.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.
