Please enlighten me. Is this not exactly what the FBI is asking for? For Apple to flash a custom version of iOS that doesn't have the software rate-limiting and auto-wipe, which only someone with Apple's private key can do. A four-digit PIN is only secure in combination with those features. Having Apple's code-signing key is in fact "having the keys", except in the most pedantic literal sense.
