I think 2.13 should definitely be possible before then.

It includes:

Some thoughts:

I'm not sure if you'll need to connect to the IDS (or attempt to) for the registry changes to take effect. I had to put the scripts in post_download, since you can't modify the /etc/registry directory itself.
We should include some scripts to start a network connection and dropbear. Dropbear isn't started on boot now because of power usage.
There's no Mobipocket reader. We still need to work with iRex on finding a way to get that. Or we need to include some "pre firmware installation" scripts. We could even have that script automatically download the custom firmware and set the reflash flag. This would mean very little user interaction necessary.
