To bad verizon had to be dumb and lock down the phone and made unnecessary changes to it.
Yeah it does suck that Verizon has decided to lock the Bootloader but I saw on one of the Droid forums that they've already found a way around this and someone has now rooted and flashed one of the Verizon S3's. I imagine that as time goes by and more and more people start to demand devices to remain unlocked in this manner that it will become more and more common. We will probably even start to see more and more devices come pre-rooted, similar to the computer world demanding that CPU's remaining unlocked as overclocking became more and more common.
Here is the link to the forum :

As for me I've never reached a point that I felt I wanted to or needed to root my Droid X until very recently when I started to really wish it was faster. But since I ordered the S3 I'm not really all that worried about it anymore, as for the S3 if it runs good and does all that I want it to as is I won't really be all that worried about rooting it either. Now with that said I'm happy to know that someone out there that is far smarter than me has figured out a way around Verizon's greedy ways.
