The whole point of the jailbreak is to get our thirdparty signing key on there, to enable future thirdparty updates packed with KindleTool.

I suppose you could repack the official updates in order to allow easy firmware updates on jailbroken devices... but that problem was already solved via the jailbreak "bridge".
Yes, my bad. I missed the whole point

For most devices that would consist of two steps -- downgrade, then "jailbreak distro install". However, such distros would require regular maintenance and support by the individual distro maintainers (if any). It is much less work to support individual modular hacks packaged as we do now.
Still. Wouldn't be it a good idea, to create update package for example to fw 5.6.5 with most basic packages(rescue pack, coward rescue pack, usbnetwork)?
