Just curious to see how many people would go back to stock to update. Personally I wouldn't.

I will as I'm still stock. I will root if one of the following 2 conditions are met. We are told we won't get ICS through "official" channels, or I upgrade to the rumored Holiday when my upgrade hits in December. I'm confident we will get an official upgrade to gingerbread. HTC did say something earlier this year about it arriving sometime this summer. However, I'm not gonna get anxious about it until we see a leaked ROM for it.

I ran the Asian WWE, from about a month or more ago, then the telus update from last week. It's no big deal to manually mod the package to install like a normal update. When the official AT$T update comes out, you probably won't have to go back to stock, just wait a day or less and someone will have modded it to install cleanly from clockwork. If it takes more than 24 hours, then I'll certainly post one.
Note that if you do revert to stock just to get the update, you'll probably lose the ability to root your phone afterwards. See:

What's going to happen is people are going to go back to stock, hate it then realize that they can no longer root.
So far anything with the build number 2.37 and up cannot be downgraded and rooted/soff. There is quite a few threads of this in the dhd forum.
Plus well get alot of posts of I'm rooted why doesn't the Ota's work again.
I'm happily running gingerbeast and wont plan on going stock again

As I recall, from the same time, ATT did reiterate what HTC said regarding the update. That it will be upgraded this summer. With HTC working to unlock the bootloader on the Evo 3D and Sensation, it is possible they would they would unlock ours as well. However, I just wouldn't count on it. For those that are rooted, I would recommend staying rooted until these [email protected] devs here on XDA finally get root on the official gingerbread update.

Yeah, unfortunately these newer phones have been shipping with locked bootloaders. Still, HTC said that the bootloaders will be unlocked and that will come via those phones first OTA updates. We, on the other hand, would have to wait till the devs obtain root on the update before nonrooted users can root and those users who went back stock to obtain the update can go back to being rooted. As we all know, our bootloader was locked to begin with. The Desire HDs haven't got their bootloader officially unlocked, and I doubt they ever will. Same goes for us, since thet Inspire and Desire HD both came out before HTC said they would unlock the bootloaders on their devices.

Why would anyone unroot just to get an update you can get right now? And if you are going to lose the option to go back to root, then definitely forget it. If it's true the bootloader will be locked it should be announced so we can make a stink with HTC again.

It's not the bootloader per se; those have always been locked. HTC just plugged the holes that allowed us to get temproot which is the first step needed to do the rest.

Technically, you can't get it now, since it hasn't been released or leaked. All the current custom gingerbread roms here are actually DHD roms. I have rooted in anticipation of a leaked US Inspire gingerbread rom. Once we get that, we should start to see some more stable roms that don't require apn and gps fixes and require far less updating. Thanks to all the great devs that will make this happen.

So would we ever see an update for HTC or is that out?

Ask ATT as it is there call. We may see one update but that's about it.
Once it's officially released, just wait a few days and all the major ROMs will be updated. Absolutely no reason to go back to stock.

Yes it is,

Exact same thing happens to me.
Is it the root that's causing it or is it the bootloader not being stock?
It was told a million times (if not a billion) not to update your rooted phone via OTA
However this issue can be resolved easily - search Developement forum stickies for solution.
