They are intended to prevent automatic OTA updates.

The former breaks if you update to 5.11.x, and the latter breaks if you update to 5.12.x and above. Then the only way to aboid updates would be eother staying on Airplane forever, or filling up Kindle so there is 200 mb or less left.


So just stay on 5.10.3.
I’d follow that advice - but I will also add I’m on 5.12.2 and it hasn’t automatically updated to 5.12.3, and all I did was use the PREVENT OTA updates button in KUAL-Helper.
