Sort of.
You are joining in during the switch from what is known to whatever Amazon/Lab126 is intending to do in the future.
Previously (to the 'new' system) -
Kindles where dual-boot systems (plus a minimal initramfs).
Named "main" and "diags" (for reasons known only to Lab126).
The 'new' system (maybe - you can never tell about Lab126) -
Kindles are becoming dual-mode rather than dual-boot.
I.E: What was "diags" has been moved into the initramfs.
This is part of the move towards an "Android(ized)" style system.
Once whatever re-definitions are stabilized by Amazon/Lab126, we MIGHT try dealing with those systems.
Or we may just stick with what will be the EoL series 5 systems.
