I would think that Amazon could (in theory) change the DRM on your Kindle and then change the eBooks you have on your Kindle and your Amazon bookshelf so you'd never know the difference until you went to remove the DRM or Kindlefix eBooks. They could even keep the same version number of the firmware just so you don't notice even more.
