It looks like the Unlocked bootloader thing could indeed be the beginning of a trend.

Motorola is considering unlocking its bootloaders:

FTA:
In terms of your question – we completely understand the operator requirement for security to the end user, and as well, want to support the developer communities desire to use these products as a development platform. It is our intention to enable the unlockable/relockable bootloader currently found on Motorola XOOM across our portfolio of devices starting in late 2011, where carriers and operators will allow it.
First SE now Moto. Lets hope that other follow suit. I can practically smell Ubuntu on my tablet
