Who wants to volunteer to try it? I have serial port, so I will consider doing it, unless someone else wants to.
How confident are you that "reset" keeps the system pub dev key?

It can be installed over the serial port.
It can be installed while running the 'diags' system (it detects this situation and mounts the 'main' system to put things in the right place (/var/local is common to 'diags' and 'main') ).
I.E: It can be run over ssh into 'diags' using RP.
But I don't know if it can be installed by putting it in the root of visible USB storage and re-booting.
Perhaps the same way that PW-1, 5.6.1.1 can be forced to install an update_*.bin

I am very certain the key is still there.
Amazon could certainly remove it with a 'reset' - but they haven't (yet).
The 'whitelist' manifest is still on the system.
I don't know if anything still uses it.
But that would be how 'foreign' files added to the system could be detected and dealt with.
