Random Question...

As much as I dislike how slow Samsung is with updates, I can honestly say they are the most supportive of the dev community, and I can only hope HTC starts thinking more like Samsung. I have not seen any Samsung Androids with locked bootloaders, which brings me to my point:

So is it possible for a manufacturer to unlock a bootloader in an update? I have not seen any evidence of this anywhere, so its a curiosity to me since supposedly HTC is backing away from signed bootloaders. As doubtful as it would be for HTC to do this, is it even possible to unlock a bootloader via an update?

Yes it would be possible for them to do this via an update. Would they? Depends on what the carriers say since they pretty much control what is pushed for the updates.

I think the Atrix had its bootloader unlocked when it received gingerbread.
