First of all, MacGuffin (found here) can be described as "a plot device that motivates the characters or advances the story, but the details of which are of little or no importance otherwise."
Way back in Chapter 1.2 (and seen in the cinematic) and in the MxO game manual in the box, the refusal by the Machines to return Neo's body sparked Morpheus' actions and the events that subsequently lead to his death. However, since his death, Neo's body has been all but forgotten; but the question always remained, "What happened to it?" And thus begs the question: was it ever going to be revealed what happened to it? At this point, it's been almost 4 years. I'm curious if plans changed to reveal this or if the intention was to never touch upon it again. If it is the latter, then it leads to two more questions:

- It is mentioned in the Assassin's Memoirs that the Assassin was denied recycling Trinity's body, and that it had an unusual device connected to her neck / cranial jack. Again, this mystery has not been touched upon again. Why is that? Another MacGuffin?
- Around Chapter 6.2, the remnant of Neo's RSI was placed in Westview in the basement of that fight club. IIRC, Rarebit had stated it was requested by Chadwick, and I had thought something was planned for the "body." Yes, a couple of years later, nothing has come of it. Why is that?
