Whether the developers will battle for the latest kfx decryption I don't know. So long as 1.17 or 1.26 continue to work for my books, I don't much mind.
Nor do I. In fact, I'm not that concerned with K4PC at all. Whilst it is nice to be able to decrypt kfx files my workflow is usually to download kf8 from the website. My interest is more in the medium to long term. I suspect v4 of the voucher is not beyond the developers for long. It is what Amazon may want to do with versions 5 to 28 that needs some thought.
It would be nice to avoid an "arms race" type scenario if possible.
