Amazon would almost certainly not wish it to be released until they roll out a new firmware version that patches the security flaw that BD identified.

Therefore we can reasonably conclude that the JB is extremely unlikely to be released any time soon, and almost certainly not before Christmas.

I wasn't in on any of the testing, but I was a party to some of the conversations, and ....
I know BD looked into just what was involved in fixing the flaw he had leveraged with his jail break code.
And the last I had heard on that was: "Very difficult to fix, had better leave it to Amazon with the resources needed".
That is, whatever it is, it isn't a simple typo or build system configuration error that could be fixed 'over night'.
