Yes, exactly.

You shouldn't ever need to disable this hack, it doesn't stop you from installing anything manually ("Update Your Kindle").
The only exception is when an incremental update needs to patch the file /etc/updater.conf - such update would fail with an error. Only then you would need to uninstall the hack or deactivate it with KUAL.
You would also need to reinstall/reactivate the hack after installing a full update (the huge one).

Yes, exactly.
