No, it isn't one bit possible.
1. No dev has that amount of self control. They would rather have the public praise.
2. No dev has a vested interest in preventing us from being stupid.
3. No dev is against the concept of the next challenge.

so a person who did the ota 2.2 cannot downgrade to 2.1, root then flash a rooted froyo rom yet? any eta when this might be able to happen?

From what I have heard no ETA for you guys. And no to the first question. I think some of the problem is all the devs for the most part who would/could make this happen already have rooted phones, so it isn't exactly a priority nomesayin? Could be wrong but that is just my take on why it hasn't happened yet.

so what do people do when they buy the phone from sprint and it comes pre-loaded with froyo? id like to think the devs would work on this. unless they are all jumping ship again to the epic?

Maybe ferrying a copy of the 2.1 update and alerting it so your phone reads it as an UPDATE hence downgrading the firmware I mean what stops us from just getting a copy of 2.1 and that replacing froyo.

well they posted something on twitter 18 hours ago. so who knows. I do miss wifi tether. but I have my notebook set up for wired tethering. combat style. just have to wait for some shorter cables to make it better

I don't think the phones come preloaded with froyo, rather than it being updated b4 the phone is handed to you

Wow, I am so glad that I went with my gut feeling and denied the update when it popped up on my phone. I then I checked on here and saw that it would lock me out from rooting. I have been denying it for weeks now, and tonight I finally rooted. Will the update still pop up? And if I accidentily accepted it would I lose root?

I have been rooted since I got my Evo, haven't received an update notification since. And yes, if you accept now I think you will be SOL until it becomes rooted.
