Even if they don't release the flash tools - with the full software (sources) at hand I don't think it'll take long for someone to release his own flash program.
Well, the point of Dher is that the reflash process must be documented too. But it seems that the spirit is permeating in the iRex team. (It is expected to be present at the engineer level, of course, but it is good when/if it "upgrades" to the whole company. I guess it is inhibited because they were afraid of losingvaluable partners
