The part I'm worried about is how long it's going to be possible to buy hardware that's not locked down. It's almost impossible to buy a phone that doesn't need to be hacked to get root nowadays.
@yogthos I think we will always have that option. Probably you will only not be able to go for the high end devices while seeking full access to your own device, your own property.
PS: No wonder why Linux phones are getting a lot of momentum lately.
I certainly hope so.
