I rooted immediately after pulling the update. Installed the sdk, usb drivers, extracted the root tools into the sdk tools folder, set my phone for usb debugging, pluuged it in, and ran the root script I previously extracted. Sounds complicated, but was easy to follow steps actually.

I wanted to point out the only real reason I've found for rooting after I've installed backup, wireless tether, bootstrap, root explorer, and drocap2 is just the wireless tethering and screenshot tools honestly. So if you don't need those, it might be better not to atm. It sure will make the inevitable bugfix update coming A LOT easier.
