Those previous immediate responses by Amazon were only possible because the software in use at the time contained unused DRM algorithms that could be instantly activated when needed.

The new method is not dependent on reverse engineering DRM and so cannot be quickly defeated by Amazon in the same way.

It should still have quite a bit of life left in it yet. The new 2.8.0 release has just started being rolled out so I suspect that any cutoff of downloads to the previous version is likely still weeks or months away.
