Root Getting worried about my purchase...

I know this has only been out for about a week, but the GS4 Active forums aren't really seeing any traffic... so it is giving me an idea that maybe developers may not be that interested in this GS4 variant. I hope this thing gets root very soon. I want to de-bloat it so bad. There is a root bounty thread at XDA and it's up to $500. I am still in within my 14 day trial period, so I could trade in for a regular S4... but I really like the build quality of this phone and prefer all of the physical buttons over the capacitive menu and back buttons.

Devs... please help us with this phone!
