Root vs custom ROMs

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

I would think every factory would need to have it plus the OS and software developers. For this reason I would think probably 20 people in the company at least has direct access and some 100 or so with limited access to phone specific codes. Without a specific working code for each specific place it would be pretty hard to track down the source unless they track access to the files and only then it would be useful if this couldn't be done during the period of time where you would access it normally.

Depends on how big a secret they wanna keep. Easy enough to use a separate signing key on a master build machine, that only project leaders and Senior IT can get.

Personally, I think the whole thing stinks. Moto needs to remember that their Android users pulled them up out of the grave, and treat them a little better. The Droid is proof that a strong dev community can keep a phone in the spotlight for 10 months.

Agreed.
