Keep in mind that it has now been 8 months since the last firmware release.
If the new device is being announced mid-August, there should be a firmware release before the factory firmware is committed, so that any show stopper bugs can be fixed before they start being manufactured (or at least before the firmware is loaded onto the new manufactured devices).
Given that there has been a hiatus of 8 months, that should be sufficient time to have re-written the firmware.
With the 'Open Up' slogan, maybe it is now open source based. Maybe there is an API. Maybe Kobo is releasing the firmware as open source (either new or old).
