Re: Re: WHY
You make a well reasoned point, however some of us won't be buying a G5 until there's room in there for 4 HDs and two optical drives. My MDD is chock full and I don't have any free wall sockets for setting up two firewire HDs and a firewire burner.
As it is I don't really have a need for a G5 at the moment but 2-3 years down the line I might and if Apple don't offer more expandability by then I'd be highly interested in an upgrade kit.

My thoughts exactly. Given that this would likely be a rather expensive upgrade, and figure you could take that money, sell your current mac and probably come up with a figure fairly close to buying a new computer which would bring a lot of other benefits with it as well. By the time the g5 is refreshed and older ones are out on the market, it even makes less sense to upgrade. I've never thought upgrades were a particularly good idea from a cost/performance point of view, and are more a matter of techno envy than real world productivity gains. Better, in my mind, to make do for a little while, sell the old, buy new, and never look back.
