I haven't yet installed this on my Glo HD, and here's why.

In the kobo6 image, I'm seeing a bunch of files in /usr/local/Kobo that weren't included in previous versions, but are being shipped in newer models.

Things like libmp3z.so which is only really good with devices that have a Bluetooth chip, foxitpdf which is shipped on newer devices like Sage and Elipsa, MyScript and libiink binaries that are included with devices that have stylus support, etc. The kernel file seems correct though.

While I wouldn't mind access to FoxIt, the rest needs hardware that my Glo HD simply doesn't have, and I'm concerned that I don't have enough space in /root for all of these new files and bad things will happen if I try to flash this.

So my question is this: Is the inclusion of these files intentional, is the kobo6 link incorrect, or did something like the Sage KoboRoot.tgz file get included in the kobo6 zip by mistake?

Edit: kobo7 (ex. Clara HD) does NOT have these files (and never did) which leads me to believe that the kobo6 file is wrong. Can a Beta Tester escalate this to Kobo for investigation? I'm concerned that devices may brick if they run out of space while upgrading, and even if they don't, removing these files automatically later on if this is a mistake may be difficult without a factory reset.

Edit2: It's weird; the NTX stuff looks correct (it has mx6sl-ntx listed and only that, so it's not the Sage file), but it has all the Bluetooth and Stylus stuff included all over the filesystem too so I can't tell if this build is intentional or not. If what geek1011 is postulating below is true, then perhaps supply chain issues has forced them to revert to older Mark 6 hardware CPU wise for newer devices, but I simply don't think the original devices have enough disk space to handle this build comfortably, which is why I still think the current kobo6 build is wrong. Either that, or I have too much third party stuff in my root partition and I'll need to make room. Has anyone with a Mark 6 device flashed this? How is it? Did it unlock new functionality?

Edit3: Well, I YOLO'd and manually removed all the extra Bluetooth and stylus stuff before flashing. Seems to work fine. But if someone could confirm or deny if all that stuff is supposed to be there in the first place, it would really be appreciated.
