Root So, ugh... do I need to return to stock?

I am now running black ice rom on my Xoom (4g version) and see now ICS update has been pushed. Now, in order to get the update, I guess I got a couple options:

1) return to stock and wait for the OTA to be pushed
2) sit back even longer and wait for other ICS roms

I assume a full ICS image for the 4g xoom has NOT been posted yet, or has it? I have no clue where to look. I have been out of the Xoom development loop for a while now

There is no image yet but I went back from black ice to update for the soak test and as soon as it was over rooted and restored back ice. Stock ics was good but black ice was better. The only reason that you should go back is if you want to, you really are not missing anything.

Black ice seems to be unstable for me. Random crashes here and there (like honeycomb). I have been seriously thinking about going back to stock for a while now because I am getting tired of messing with it. It has almost come to the point that having a rooted xoom is moot.

I hope google releases an image soon.

If you have your Xoom overclocked slow it down and that might stop the crashes
