All of the fun and games over the release of v2.0.0 of the firmware has caused me to have a look at the internals of the firmware package.

I have two questions:

1) What is the upgrade directory in the kobo3-update-2.0.0.zip file and its contents used for? It looks like boot or bios code, but I can't tell.

2) Looking at the KoboRoot.tgz contents, it looks like they have replaced the 4.6.2 Qt library with the 4.8.0 library (in the 4.6.2 tree), and then put in a 4.8.0 tree which is only has links to the 4.6.2 tree. Do I have this right?
