Question after 4.4.2 update - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was on 4.4 rooted and went back to an unrooted state. I then sideloaded 4.4.1 and then 4.4.2 when it was released. My question is, can 4.4.2 be rooted the same way 4.4 was?
Thanks in advance.

Rooting

Ok, so I have rooted several device's but I have never updated my stock android Os higher while rooted.
With the news of 4.3 I was just wondering what would happen?
Thanks for your help in advance guys.

Probably a 99 percent chance you lose root. Sadly.

Any chance it will damage my phone? And can I just realised root again? Using the Nexus 4 auto root?
Thanks for your help

Why not going unroot before updating?

There's just the chance of bricking your device, just like everytime you are rooting it or flashing something.
Rooting it again shouldn't be a problem.
Bricking is easily fixed by flashing a new rom?

Yes, this is what I always do. It's the safest bet.

It's very usable as a daily driver, pretty stable, a bit faster, but not as customizable yet.. Make a nandroid backup and test it out, if it isn't what you like, you can reboot your nandroid..

It will be rooted the same way like 4.4, and you will can upgrade the same way like you did with 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Is it magic or something?
Developer preview available later today...

Lock them both. We don't need 6 months of useless speculation.

there is no 5.1 rom, not even a 5.0.1 what I guess you meant. Refer to Factory Images

Hangout at the Lounge and you'll be updated with everything that's going on.
As Shayne said, no root for stock Lollipop yet. If there was, trust me, you would've known.
