Question About unrEVOked Forever and the S Protection on/off.

Question About unrEVOked Forever and the S Protection on/off....

Is there any reason to actually use it? My phones fully rooted, NAND is unlocked etc so do I really need it? I mean I know I can do everything I need to do now but what was the purpose of turning S Protect on and off? I read the thread, I saw what it said about being able to flash official updates but then still being able to go back to rooted ones but WHY is this important?

I'm just trying to understand WHY I may or may not want to do this and what ill affects it might have down the road.

So what your saying is... If I ever need to file an insurance claim on my phone, it's best that it falls into a lake.

Here is another question then.

Can Sprint/HTC force an OTA on you that would kill the current root? If not then there really isn't any reason to use unrEVOked right now for me, I know not to take official OTA's. I know it would have been handy for some people, the ones who took the official OTA 2.2 like idiots because they couldn't wait. Look what being impatient got them! I knew when it dropped it was bad news. Hell, I'm still on Fresh Rom 1.0.1 (Eclair 2.1, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. You know what I mean?

Well, I DID try a couple rooted 2.2 ROMS but I knew to wait is what I was saying. Being in a rush can come back to bit you in the ass sometimes, like it did for some many. Guess my only concern is forced updating by Sprint. Never heard of such a thing but you never know. If that was even a remote possibility, turning the protection lock off could be a good thing I guess.
