Kobo initial release of any firmware is to a small group. I believe it is to one of their partners or affiliates. Knowing who that was and maybe a matching serial number would mean you could jump the queue.

And I just remembered something. When the above was first mentioned in the beta group, something was said that suggested that the partner chosen was local to them. I wondered if that was to make it easier for them to get a device that didn't upgrade properly to look at what happened.
