I don't think they'll be doing it anytime soon. From what I know, PS2s aren't dead like the 3DO, so they might just as well use this to their advantage (meaning that they'll want to keep the PS2 alive in the market as long as time permits it). Blah, marketing.
I really want the Linux to be some sort of legal homebrew though, but Sony might be thinking that its users would be able to find a way to hack the PS3 using the OS itself (or at least indirectly support piracy of a different medium). Other than that, they probably just want to just keep the status of the PS3 purely as a gaming console, or it'll bring them more issues regarding the machine (most likely being piracy).
