Am I annoyed they changed things in such a way that it introduced issues with fullscreen reading? Yeah, it was working fine with patches. Do I consider it a bug or something worth reporting to Kobo outside of a desire to see fullscreen reading as a usable option? Nope. I'll just switch back to epub.

I totally agree (exept of it it a bug or not..) but I have asked Kobo many times to extend their screen a bit,unpatched you lost almost a cm on top of a kepub, and at least 2 cm on the bottom,making a 6 inch screen almost a 5 inch one.
Kobo knows,that with epubs, unpatched the same almost 2 cm footer is there.
It is for a lot of people the reason why they patch it.
As others pointed out so,it is not the responsibility of Kobo that an undocumented option is now disturbed, BUT if everyone keeps thinking we don't tell Kobo that we don't like it that they "steal" so much space by headers and footers,they will never change it. (and I know almost as a fact that they know we don't like it,for sure someone of Kobo is following the "patch" topic's..)
With my Sony, 6 inch,I never felt the need to patch something because the headers or footer space... and changing all the time from kepub to epub and vice versa just for lay-out changes,wasn't the first thing I was thinking about.
