im not sure i follow what you mean by all this politically, verizon stores are trying to push out the Droid Razr right now, and they could care less about the galaxy nexus, which if verizon doesnt sell enough, or outsell the droid line, they may stop carrying the nexus brand

and that will surely leave alot many of us upset.
if the fails when there is no root, they have to fix it themselves, not you, as it is a verizon issue then with the software they push out.
