Yes, indeed.
But the PW1 is a discontinued item and I expect it to stay as it is.

Rampant Speculations:
I expect the KV to come out of the build system very similar to the KT2 and the PW2 to be updated to match.
Freescale is shipping (has been shipping) the i.MX6 video co-processor code blobs but they only supporting the 3.x series of kernels.
I am speculating that is the reason for the major kernel bump for the "2014-Current" line of Kindle devices.
AND/OR
We may be seeing more of their Tablet (Android) code being ported to the Kindle grayscale. Here "code" meaning system internal stuff not user visible.
(Very difficult to do if not running a 3.x series kernel.)
