I have relatively little hope that it takes longer than a few days/weeks until a wave of seo-deoptimization services hit the SEO market. The incentives for beating "the system" are just too high.

I would guess Google already keeps a record of a website's history and could easily detect if it suddenly became "seo-deoptimized"
EDIT: But I completely agree. There are far too many SEO's out there for this to beat everything
