Basically, Google updated their language saying that carriers now have the right to stop them from rolling out OTA updates to phones running on their respective networks.
This doesn't stop you from side loading whatever the hell you want. As long as the bootloaders remain unlocked, the devices will remain "free." However, if that is taken away in future devices, then the Nexus "program" is truly dead.
I don't like it - something tells me that Google is walking on glass right now by making 1 phone compatible with all 4 carriers.
