The only issue I see with that theory is, the OS is based on the available hardware at the time. These note 2s are DEFINITELY not far off the first nexus device to run jellybean.
Also if you look to a phone like the htc hd2 I believe is the name, you'll find a lovely community of people who actually are running 4.4 on it with little to no issue. That's even scarier considering that's a windows phone from a few years back now running a completely differnet OS on what I personally believe to be outdated hardware.
Just my personal thoughts though. You could very well be right and maybe I'm thinking to hard about this but I'm pretty sure the phones we all carry around are designed to be updated at LEAST one OS version above It's starting point. Be it gingerbread to ICS or ICS to jellybean. Or even ICS to the new Kit Kat. There's no way they don't think about these things.
