There is a LOT of time and effort involved in such a change. I wish i could get into specifics.
Changing *one* variable's value from "false" to "true", as shown earlier in the thread, and recompiling (even easier if it's just interpreted rather than compiled) shouldn't take that much work. As for Google Now's summoning, either it'd move automatically with the repositioned Home button (if it's actually tied to it) or else you'd keep swiping up from the middle. No big deal, in either case.

Very unlikely. I can't see many people complaining about their tablet continuing to use the tablet layout rather than the phone layout. At worst, you might have gotten a few inquiries about people who weren't sure that the update actually happened.

Simply hold volume up and power until the power light starts blinking blue. Use the volume up/down and navigate to 'wipe cache partition' and press the power button.
Actually, that does seem to have made a bit of a difference, at least with the lag and some crashy apps (like Twitter). Boot time's back down to normal (~30s instead of over a minute). Doesn't help with Tapestries, of course.
