I root primarily for overclocking. If I had a 2Ghz beast I wouldn't need to overclock. I don't need to theme; I'm content with the ability to choose my wallpaper and I already have the ability to use custom icons and launchers without rooting.
I've seen/used an Incredible and it is fast. The X is faster. I don't see any reason to overclock an X. This is part of the reason I am not scared to get an X. I won't need to overclock it, it is getting great benchmarks, I don't need to theme it, the stock-ish theme with red highlights is fairly appealing to me, I don't use wifi tether, I use EasyTether, which doesn't require root, umm what else.. thats about it. Worst thing is waiting for updates to come out officially but thats not a big deal, especially with 2.2 promised in a month or two!

So who is the person that is knowledgeable with gaining root access and signed bootloaders?

The team that unlocked and bypassed the inc and evo is one that comes to mind.....

unrevoked :)

There are many others as well.... but you have to look to people that have actually done it in order to find someone who can. :)

We need to start a bounty for them.
