Good thought.
Up until now all the root methods have exploited some hole/flaw in the current software. Sprint/HTC take steps to remove such holes (please no responses on how they "want" us to root).

As I understand it the difference between trying to root Froyo and taking Froyo back to a rooted version is the fact that Sprint/HTC has more ability to prevent the "back slide" than the "leap forward" Nomsayin'?

If any devs hang out in here they might weigh in
