The files pubprodkey01.pem and pubprodkey02.pem have been moved from /etc/uks to a new archive named etc/uks.sqsh.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the jailbreak could comment as to whether or not this is a problem.
Neat, good find

Probably not game changing as there's not really a difference between changing the keyfiles and replacing a squashfs once you've got root access - that said, this will definitely screw with the hotfix as it doesn't support this scenario... yet.
