I don't see the reason why you wouldn't want to upgrade to a newer firmware, but if you can give me a good one then I don't mind releasing and testing ones for specific versions. I know that 5.12.x firmwares are immune to most OTA methods, but the image also supports 5.11.x so you're not forced to go 5.12.x.

Firmware 5.11 and greater are hostile to jailbreak.
Firmware 5.12 and greater are aggressively hostile to jailbreak.
Kindles are getting worse about books on the device not showing and the firmware seems to be getting flakier in general.
From my POV, anything beyond the latest 5.10.x is undesirable.
I concede that if you only do a 5.10.x for KV that would lock out people with a KV already beyond that.
I am not in a rush on the KV, so I might wait for the dust to settle or bite the bullet and try to do a serial port JB.
Thank you for all your work.
