You can't revert back to 2.1 or 2.1.1 once you've installed 2.3

Correct me if i'm wrong. The packages like "screensaver hack" and so, they are just doing modifications on the firmware and dont actually replace it. That's why we have to uninstall them when we want to install a firmware update ?
The official firmware checks that files on the Kindle haven't been modified.
Hacks such as the screensaver or the UFH hack modify some files ; and as such the official firmware update will fail until they are removed

The last but not least questions : jyavenard, what is the langage used/compiler used to generate thoses .bin files, on which operating system ? If i can be of any help...

Again, thanks for your hard work !
The packager is written in Python.
A bin file is just an encrypted gzipped tar file.
