Sorta, the problem is what do you take from each ROM?
Meaning, if you extract the Bluetooth stack from the new ROM that fixes the quality issue, it might bring with it the bug in the power settings that keep it from coming out of standby when you press the power button... Or maybe the D-pad freezing issue.
The code is very complicated, and while we can mess around with modules, its sort of a gamble as far as predicting what will work vs. not. We didn't develop the rom so we don't know what purpose everything has.
Stuff like this is being tested, and believe me when we've got a solid and reliable solution, it'll be posted somewhere.

I never said Sprint should be expected to support it. HTC should offer it to us, and Sprint can warn that this voids your warranty. I know its unlikely for many reasons, but it would really help the development community who ultimately ends up supporting HTC's phones better than even they can.
If anything, HTC might look like a hero to the few who are in the know, and sell more devices as the "open platform phone" to the cult followings. Sprint could create their own firmware and warn that if you tinker with custom ROMs, you are on your own. I think they're policy is sort of like this already, and we are already creating/flashing unsupported ROMs... so really the only difference is that HTC hasn't helped out the community and hasn't come out as the hero yet.
