You will either be able to put the OTA on there manually when it comes out, and lose root again, or wait until it gets modified, so you can preserve root and get the new features.

OR... You can put the engineering bootloader on there, and it won't really matter if you have root or not when it comes to updates, because you'll ALWAYS be able to get it back, no matter what, because you can flash anything you want, whether you have root or not.

Confusing?
