A new theme can come out and I know how to customize it already.
However, customization is done totally differently. Well, the CSS part is pretty much the same, except you get to edit the style.css file directly. Pretty much everything is done via actions and filters. You can read up on that in my Genesis Explained series, which basically documents how I learned to work with Genesis.
As for SEO, the built in SEO is great and has been audited by the best in the biz. What is better is the built in SEO is done in such a way that if you prefer to use a third party SEO plugin it will recognize that the plugin is active and disable itself. There are a few plugins that aren't recognized, but a single line of code in the child theme will turn off Genesis SEO for those fringe cases.

Thanks for the information, it's exactly what I was looking for.
