I believe it will be relatively simple to supply a plugin to enable Kobo Clara 2E support for older calibre (5 and maybe earlier). I think that KTE might be more involved but I'll try.
It will based on a plugin David had supplied for an earlier version (maybe calibre 3 or 4).
As to why the need to update the plugin for new releases / devices it's the way the driver is designed. It needs to know items like the USB identifier of each device, screen resolution, etc.
It is conceivable that all that could be handled via a config file but.... that is in many ways counter to the way everything else is done.
Of course, in the words of the mighty Kovid Goyal, patches are welcome!
