This is just my guess, nothing concrete. Just speculation.

This is because Skylake no longer has FIVR.

Due to the difference in power delivery for Skylake, I don't think current X99 boards and socket can support Skylake-E (when its out). Definitely need new board.
This is just a ridiculous thread to start. We shld be very thankful that Intel allows Broadwell-E chips to be used on X99 platform, if Broadwell-E ever makes it out into the market at all. Else, from Sandy Bridge-E till now, every generation has a new socket. LGA1366, LGA2011, LGA2011-3. Skylake-E will be no different from the trend.

Not impossible. Just tell the external VR to do nothing.
