The current method of rooting is piggy backing the official 2.0.1 update file. Now that motorola is aware of how it's being done they will likely make the update software have additional security. If they do implement a 'fix' for this, after installing the next update you won't be able to flash back; you will have to wait until someone finds a way to root the new version.

Also, people who purchase their phones after that point would then be unable to root too.

I think I will wait for someone else to try it first then. The update looks like most of the roms already out there (2.0.1 with 2.1 apps) minus wifi tether and OC.
