I suspect this discussion branched off from my mention of injecting the patched files back into the original KoboRoot.tgz so you could update and patch at the same time. That patched KoboRoot.tgz is hardware revision specific though you might be able to generate a massive patched file with all the system updates in the upgrade directory and a KoboRoot.tgz with the various graphics files, etc. in addition to the patched files.

I would agree there. I've done the patching often enough that, at times, I find it hard to break the steps out.
