Just root it, rooting has basically become an unbrickable process. Your phone will feel like a new phone running CM . Yes carriers would rather have you buy a new phone, but for a lot of consumers it doesn't matter. I mean seriously if it was that big of an issue you probably would of rooted your phone by now. A recent study came out that 50% of iphone users haven't plugged in their iphone after initial purchase, so basically theres a large amount of people out there that just don't care or know. The benefit of Android is that its customizable. On the other hand if people really didn't want to worry about root but wanted upgrades they should only get the Nexus phones.
