Going from 5.16.10 to 5.16.21 is odd. Kindle firmware version numbers are usually somewhat sequential.

Also bizarrely and maybe interesting is the fact that we now have two easily confusable versions 5.16.21 and 5.16.2.1.1

That's inherent in the (nearly universally used) version numbering scheme.

Probably a typo by some Lab126 dev that meant to write 5.16.11

I'm usually at the tailend of a rollout, so I was surprised to see the telltale restart this afternoon; it makes me think that it addresses the widespread reports of various bugs in the last update. I hope it fixes the freezing issue that necessitated a restart every day.

— mark that they reverted to old code
— fresh dev team. Old guys weren't as productive as management wanted, so they have new guys doing things, and they wanted to note the occasion
— typo. It is funny, but I'm leaning towards that one
