It's not a no-brainer for current NOOKs. Unless you mean that trying it causes the NOOK's brains to go away.
langshipley's question suggested that they don't have a NOOK. So if they get a NOOK, it probably won't be soft-rootable by the old, simple method. Rooting the new-design NOOKs is not (yet) for the faint-of-heart or anyone of rank Nerd JG or below.
I suspect that by the time any kind of simplified rooting procedure is available for the new NOOK design, we'll know what's in the 1.5 release. Maybe it'll make rooting unnecessary, or maybe not.
