Not too odd.
The Kindle Developer's Forum only has one active member left familar with the details of the jail break.
And that is in addition to answering all questions posed each day.
So trouble reports about losing the jail break on 5.8.2.1 where easy to miss, since no one who reported a problem mentioned that 5.8.2.1 was new.
And of course, this update only affected the people who choose not to include the OTA blocker suggested in Step #7.
Making the update bridging code survive an update to 5.8.2.1 may take awhile, since the author / maintainer of that package is also gone from the forum.
