And currently, the only way to update the PRL (without going through hell) is with those two files. It's very difficult otherwise. This is why many people are requesting these specific programs be left in.
Now that teh explination is out, if people are planning to upgrade the rom anyway, it takes little time to install the stock rom, perform the PRL update then flash the new JD rom. I can get the PRL update even if JD and the other guys don't put these files in. It's not like the PRL changes that often and to be honest, new custom roms come out far more often then a PRL update.
