The definitive guide is:

Those are the nicknames that are built into KindleTool.
All packages with a name format of: update_*.bin are "model locked", just the same as the Kindle packages are, they have to be, we and Amazon use the identical installer.
It is KindleTool that is used to build the model locked packages.
Do not be mislead by JSWolf - he has absolutely nothing at all to do with Kindle after-market development.
On the technical subject of Kindles, he is next to clueless and only posts to see what disturbances he can create.
JSWolf was repeatedly given the opportunity to update the KindleTool code to recognize his choice of nicknames and he has repeatedly refused to contribute to the work.
Best thing to do, just ignore him on the subject of Kindle technical matters.
