While there is no mention of actual encrypted bootloaders, HTC, since the G2, have been making it increasingly difficult. Let's hope they stick with signed rather than encrypted bootloaders. I know the TBolt is more difficult to root than an EVO, or an Incredible, but at least the bootloader isn't encrypted meaning we'll see truly custom ROMs. Aside from wanting to lock into an unlimited data plan, I bought the TBolt because I went from a D1 to a D2, and while the D2 was a great phone, it could've been awesome if they simply made a true follow up to the D1 (vanilla android, non-encrypted bootloader, etc.)
