Same thing with copy&attach here, we can't maintain your attachments for you.

Similar thing with direct links to attachments, they will break when the attachment is updated and we can't maintain your links for you.

The end-user will just have to pay the price of a few more mouse clicks in return for stability and dependability.

Try reading my original post on DGA-1, you will see how these details of single point maintenance is handled.
Agreed. And then this thread completely violates the KISS principle as well, because it greatly complicates the steps needed to jailbreak a PW2 with recent firmware. With some edits, it COULD be useful for similar NON-PW2 models, but my suggestions seem to be disregarded so far (though to be fair, the OP is dealing with family holiday events).

And regarding "single point maintenace", this is FAR MORE critically important than it may appear, because many of us "old timers" will not be here much longer (if we are even still alive). Our contributions MUST be as self-supporting as possible if they are to outlive us for the benefit of future generations of antique kindle collectors.
