Yeah it's not really "news" it first showed up in 5.7.894, a script that's detecting the foreverroot hack and giving trouble if you have it.
If anyone is concerned, the standard advice I believe would be to just not install any official updates, whenever they get around to releasing them, and waiting for the dev community to figure out a way to give your rooted phone all the benefits of the update, as they do now.
For me, as much as I love the bionic's hardware, im gonna start planning/saving to grab the nexus because I want a dev friendly phone. It's a shame because I'm a huge fan of moto but after a few months on android I understand how critical it is to have something devs will be working on.. For me at least. To each his own.
Just stick with custom ROMs dude. That's how I'm dealing with Motorola's crap. I want to keep my phone because the hardware and build quality is so much better than anyone else (well, maybe excluding HTC, but I personally don't like HTC phones too much)

This turned out to not be exactly accurate. I did unfreeze all apps and unroot just in case, but read in other places where the forever root worked with the OTA .893 update. I was able to root again using this one click method: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12050927/1-click_exploit.zip
Cheers!!!
You were able to root with the new update with this method? Thanks. My wife is itching to install the ota and I want to make sure I can root her still after it is applied, she will still be completely stock.
That is what you said after re-reading however i want to be sure hehe.
Thanks!
Oh and does this wipe data?

so my neighbor was checking out my phone and started the update download on my rooted phone.... so I figured what the hell and quick did forever root and unfroze my apps.
applied the download.
and it appears I still have root... have been able to browse around in root explorer and refreeze stuff in Titanium backup.
