Two issues spring to mind. (a) The amount of work to strip the newest kernel to an appropriate size for the reader, and (b) just because there have been numerous revisions of the kernel does not mean drivers and code have been updated for the arm processor or sdhc card reader. Anyway, for all we may know Jinke have settled on 2.6.21.7 and packport fixes, so they only have minor code updates rather than an entire source tree.
