As I said -- feel free to say he should've said enough is enough. (I am not so nice. I would've said back in October "sorry, you blew it, I'm releasing it now and maybe that will make you take it more seriously".)
A jailbreak is an entry point.
Once the jailbreak is installed, it is self-sufficient.

4 months since announcement that he had found new jailbreak method, and plans to release it after 30 days "grace period". I don't acknowledge any clock resets , since he stated that he had already contacted Amazon (ie he made them aware of the problem, the fact that Amazon then took sweet ass time/a month to send him first reply changes nothing in my book) before making the announcement.
When it was put on hold I knew then that it would be "spring at best" if left to Amazon's leisure. Now even that starts to look too optimistic , maybe never would be best estimate.
Luckily I was skeptical about "soon in October" jailbreak release so I've kept my PW1 instead of selling it because it's running KOreader (for reading non-fiction PDFs) ... until such time I can run KOreader on my PW3. Which now looks like it will be never.
About jailbreak/entry point statement: I know what jailbreak is :P I was talking about exploit(s) used for gaining jailbreak/tricking the framework to run the script. I can't think of differences between registered and used Kindle vs factory reset-ed Kindle but the difference in registered status, /mnt/us content and probably some files i /var/temp. So it makes me guess that it's something related to registration procedure and/or "handshake" & request/response between Amazon servers and device. If success of jailbreaks is dependent on something (data, procedures) on servers and Amazon fixes that hypothetical faults then there's no difference if Kindle is still on fw 5.6.5, not firmware updated.
Which all equals to all that wait for nothing gained.
p.s. I'm pessimist by nature.

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.
