alright guys lets keep our cool. seeing as it still isnt posted on samsungs opensource site i decided to message them to find out the truth behind all this. per gpl they are legally required to provide source for any form of the Linux kernel they put out publicly. an ota to 1 person or 5 million counts as public.
in the mean time we should avoid ripping each others throats out, should sam wish to back his claims up and provide files i would hope he would have quite teh opposite reaction from everyone and people would be singing his praises.

if they go ahead and post source it doesnt much overall, it just means i can compile a custom 4.3 zImage, but it will prove same was speaking the truth without him rooting. but the source will do nothing to help make a 4.3 rom for us :/
I would be more then willing to provide a system dump. In all honestly I don't how - only rooted phones with detailed instructions from what it is posted if it was not for the info I wouldn't have known how.
However, if providing a system dump requires me to root the phone which in turn will trip the counter due to Knox then I won't be willing to provide system dump since I was actually dumb enough to have purchased my S3 at a discount from Fry's in April 2013 knowing that MetroPCS / T-Mobile deal.
