Regarding Kindle 3.2.1

So I've been getting plenty of questions in my inbox recently and I want to clear some thing up.

1. Kindle 3.2.1 fixed the jailbreak method used in 3.1
2. I think I already have a way of jailbreaking 3.2.1, but I have no way of testing.
3. I am not releasing it right now for two reasons 1) 3.2.1 is not a major release and it's not for kindle 3g so I can't test it. 2) Amazon released 3.2.1 specifically to block jailbreak. I think it is because they are losing money from people who buy kindle with ads and remove the ads. I agree with amazon that you should commit to the ads if you agreed to them.

However, if you have a kindle with 3.2 or 3.2.1 with ssh access (usbnetwork), I would love a copy of the rootfs.img so I can test future hacks.
