I haven't seen complaining about this or discussion at all for that matter (I am sure it is coming anytime now) so i thought to share a bit of info and get the ball rolling.
Jailbreak Monte is the name given to the current way that the Dev team is Making the 4.2.1 Jailbreak untethered, this method is a way to recycle exploits by convincing the device that it's running a given firmware right up to the pwnage step (on the current version 4.2b3), then switching to the newer firmware at a later time before the whole process is completed.
This current iteration of redsn0w require you to have 4.2b3 SHSHs and also access to the 4.2b3 IPSW, which is pushing the JB community way to close the the "piricy" issue line (and nigher I nor the developer like to be there).
So Dev team have been working hard to port the same exploit to use 4.1 SHSHs (and IPSW) which most Jailbreaker should have (leaving just minor population out of those who got the phones with 4.2.1 stock or replace).
@MuscleNerd actually accomplished just this last night
Now he is on the road to port the same method into the 4.3b2 and start experimenting with it until 4.3 is release, giving us a great chance to have a JB ready at release date (or just a few days later) that include no only the GSM iPhone but the CDMA iPhone As well. (this is also why TU and Cydia started saving the 4.3b2 blobs).
Edit: I forgot to mention that the recycling of the same exploit will allow to save the exploit that the new Greenpois0n tool from the Chronic Dev team just demoed a few days back to be save to future uses, either as 4.3 backup or maybe even later. Of course this is to the discretion of the team, which IMO is the best thing to do for the whole community.
Edit 2: Please note that I said "giving us a great chance to have a JB ready at release date (or just a few days later)", Niether I nor any of the team are "promising" or "setting in stone" a release date for the new tool. It is just good news for now but things can change in no time with new betas and other road blocks that could be found on the way
