If so, they haven't posted about it here.

The major change is that related to the file system layout.
The KOA2 and PW4 use a file system layout different than previously.

Also, they are no longer dual-boot devices, they are "dual mode" devices.
I.E: the "Diags" system is memory resident now.

(And they use the Android boot routines rather than U-Boot.)

Since the KOA2, like the KOA, does not have a documented serial port ...
The PW4 is the first device which could be the base of updated directions.

As suggested above, just prevent the device from updating.
(Put the blocking directory on the user visible file system, keep it away from Wifi, ...)

You do not want to be the first one to jail break over the serial port while re-writing the directions.
