IS locked bootloader a non issue?

[tekjunkie28]

Seems that even thought the bootloader is locked its a non issue.. I maybe coming back to android. I left for iphone 4s bc of the battery life and massive bugs with the nexus and crap slow roms of the OG droid. and before that I had a droidX which I loved. Thoughts?

The locked bootloader is no longer a problem We can get custom kernals and roms!!!!!!

excellent.. what about the flash counter or loosing imei numbers.. there are ways to get them back correct.. still reading reviews and battery discussions currently. thanks

so far i flashed 3 different roms (several times for each from due to updated versions) and have not tripped the flash count even once, but if you do I believe there is a way to reset the count. I havent heard of anyone losing their imei numbers yet from any of the forums i bounce between but i will be on the lookout.
