Trying to steer the discussion back to the OP implied intent, I think the correct position would be more along the lines of.

1. The current rom is leaked from HTC/Sprint and has not been modified/hacked. Perhaps the best description is "unmodified HTC Rom". This differentiates it from all the other kitchen roms available.

2. It is not an "Official Release". IMHO, I would describe an official release as something you would be able to walk into a Sprint store with and not have a potential issue. If someone went in today with the 3.56 ROM, they stand a chance of getting the tech's shorts in a bind.

To call it "official" is simply (again, IMHO) misleading. There are many folks out there who like to stay on the leading edge, but only with release material. For example they rely on their phone for everyday work and NEED it to work (within reason). As such, they prefer to only use ROM's that are direct from HTC/Sprint and are supported by Sprint (i.e., an Official Release).
