I agree that it would be a great advantage in upgrading and especially in low-cost repairs, to put I/O ports on PCI Express cards.

However, there is no way Apple will release anything that doesn't have the standard ports of USB, FireWire, and Ethernet. The fact that all models in the line have those, is part of the whole Mac aura, and part of what makes compatibility with 3rd devices much more simple than on the Wintel platform.
