If Amazon has good reason to roll out their updates in this non-uniform fashion, I don't see what difference it would make to allow the option of forcing the latest update for those who are so inclined.
It's very much haphazard. As was stated earlier in this thread, two Kindles updated at the same time and only one gets the new feature and the other does not.

If there is a reason behind this haphazard firmware updating, Amazon should tell us.
