That makes sense. I also wonder whether the pre-rooted update zip applies cleanly from the CWM SD. If it does, then folks who are not comfortable with replacing boot could try it out. Wouldn't want to recommend it without trying it myself and I'm too lazy to go through more restores right now (I probably did 3 or 4 over the past couple days, so I have a fair amount of comfort with the integrity of my restore files and installed CWM).

There is one case where I can see restore failing to get one completely back to a working state, though -- if your BN keys are updated, then prior restores will have bad data for BN apps (although this might fix it)
