Does this mean that the RoboRio is programmed via USB and not ethernet?
Can we still "Run" code before building it and the deploying it? (I certainly hope so!)
Can we still "Run" and deploy code wirelessly? (Again, I hope so! I've seen one too many laptops go flying.)

(Sorry, I haven't seen this mentioned yet or I just haven't looked hard enough.)
Program via USB or Ethernet or wirelessly.
The USB is recommended for imaging the roboRIO, but once it's imaged, either connection method will work.

Yes, we can still "run" debug mode before downloading the code permanently.

Yes, we can do all that wireless, via Ethernet, or via USB.
