The problem with downgrading the PW2 is nothing to do with imitating Apple, or Amazon hating on older software. You can always downgrade your Kindles, just by using an older "update".

The PW2 does not HAVE an older update, this is the first update they have ever shipped.

It is not worth their time to create a .bin for the first version to ship for the PW2 although the folks at the Kindle Developers corner have suggested they may be able to flash the contents of the 5.4.0 KPW2 onto a jailbroken Kindle, meaning they can finally sign stuff for the device.

But nothing from Amazon.
