Basically, we have an open window between the 'Update Your Kindle' click and otaup, and the switch is made during that window. We switch back to default keys when the framework restarts (or when the Kindle reboots, since it's a bind mount).

Really? I did not know that. So the Kindle changes boot levels when updating?
What is the rc level at boot? I always though it was rc3. So the Kindle starts at rcsomething, then when you click update, it switches to rc3, and when it's done it's rc5?
So to be clear: Kindle update goes to rc3. Change keys if needed at rc3. Kindle does update & calls rc5. Change keys back at rc5. This way, if a user wants amazon update or hacks, they can just put the update file and it will work (no restart before updating needed?) just like old jailbreaks?
