Tread carefully. I hope this isn't the case, it's quite a shame that users must *still* step quickly to avoid vendor lock-in and planned obsolescence.

Yeah... I've treaded carefully with regard to that.

I've always played it safe with any of this stuff. I'd already ready plenty of tales of woe about screwing around with the Verizon version of the Tab anyway, so that was more reason to be patient and wait for CyanogenMod to come to the Tab before ever jumping it head-first.

I just fear a 2.3 upgrade ahead of anybody figuring all this stuff out and then I lose my root. Buh.
