As someone who is using tshering's Kobo Start Menu all the time now, and find that it provides both more practical support to the way I use my Kobo device now, and more potential functionality than Nickel provides, I don't see any need for major changes. As it is now it is very quick, so I doubt that messing around with the internals will result in any "improvement" for us grateful users. As to avoiding the machinations of Kobo's attempts to turn perfectly good ereading devices into their ultimate marketing machines, with each "upgrade", most of us who spend time in this forum will be rolling with the punches, like we have been since acquiring "our" Kobos.
What we have now is release quality, for sure.
Luck;
Ken
