Seems silly when you think effort could have been better spent on other things. I'm guessing this was TMo pushing on Goggle and not the Android really caring. Personally, I wish the federal government would make it illegal for phone hardware to be locked to any carrier, and thus force the carriers to innovate their service and pricing as forms of competition.
RC30 fixes a rather serious Android bug that sends all keyboard input to a background root console. This bug is what allowed the telnetd jailbreak, see http://android.jim.sh/index.php/ConsoleShell . The update has nothing to do with preventing unlocking (a different form of jailbreaking, which is incorrectly linked to from this article). And as it has been noted, anyone who has been with T-Mobile for three months can already receive an unlock code for their phone.
