Are the newer devices still rootable or have they replaced the base firmware and disabled the serial port ?

I bought one in mid-September and it was still rootable. It seems like they're not going to bother disabling it in more recent devices, or maybe they still have yet to sell through their original production run.

I tried to root my refurbished Revue and was unsuccessful. It was my first effort, so it's possible I did something wrong, or as part of the refurb process they remove the ability to root them. As far as I know, production run devices are still rootable.
