Since Droid will be running 2.0, Id say thats a great reason not to root with the intent to flash your ROM. At least not until someone cooks up a 2.0 ROM. Going backwards will remove anything thats been added to 2.0. And really, being a CDMA device, you can only really go back to 1.6, without trashing your phone.

And of course you still have to wait for someone to actually figure out how to root the Droid. It hasnt quite been a month yet and Sprint Hero owners are still waiting on a root solution, so while it may be inevitable that someone will figure out how to root the device, it could also be a while before that actually happens.

There are upsides as well. Im not saying you shouldnt, but you should know what you are doing and why before you just decided to root because it appears to be the "in" thing to do.
