Root Ota 4.08.605.19

OK, my original Incredible is currently serving as my backup (WiFi-only) in case I ever lose my Rezound. It is unrooted and running the most current stock OTA until the OTA offer this morning for 4.08.605.19. I haven't accepted the OTA, though. What disadvantages, if any, will I face if I accept the OTA to 4.08.605.19?

Will the new OTA screw up my ability to root, S-off or anything if I want to later? Will I still be able to mount my Inc to my Ubuntu 12.04 notebook? (I read that Jellybean and newer use a different file system that currently is difficult for Linux to see).

Will refusing the OTA cost me the ability to accept it later?

Information welcome. TIA.

If you want to accept the ota... You first have to install the stock recovery... Then you can install the ota... Since you have s off you can easily root again by following the directions in the sticky at the top of the forum "how to regain root with s-off or HTC unlocked boot loader"

The update is not jelly bean...its just a maintenance update to reduce reboots.
