From what's been posted sickle has already been improved over its 3.16.10 version, and I would discount reports from those who installed 3.16.10 on devices it wasn't intended for in the first place. Yes, it seemed to be possible, but to then hold glitches against Kobo is illogical as you're not using the device as intended.

I'm not saying sickle is amazing, nor that it couldn't be improved upon. But it does seem like others are trying to paint it as a totally doomed feature which doesn't solve any problems.
What sickle needs is to have a much longer timeout. It needs to have (IMHO) 2 minutes before it reboots. That should solve the reboot problems when things take longer.
