The problem with it being a dev kit is that I don't know what features are and are not going to be on the more consumer model, so I can't really develop anything for it.
Will the consumer version have the truly excellent depth tracking or will it use the cheaper but more traditional point tracking system, because that will inform my UI decisions. Will it have iris recognition for logins or will I need to build that functionality in, will they please include controllers, will they please fix it so that you can pin things to a location, and not have them close just because you leave that location? I don't know, as they haven't communicated anything about it.
The point of such an early dev kit isn't to commit in advance but get people to try out what works, then select what will be in the final product (and maybe releasing updated dev kits on the way). They're would be a general plan, but this isn't like a game console dev kit where almost all specs and major features are set in advance, so you'd expect devs to implement multiple variants of each software feature and see what they require of the hardware, how people use it, how popular they are, etc.
