[Q] Root for 4.3? topic

I'm getting some conflicting information and just wanted to get it straight.

I've been told by someone whom I think is reputable that it is possible to gain root after taking the 4.3 update.

I know from the Rumrunner S-off thread that S-off is not achievable yet but that doesn't necessarily mean rooting is impossible.

Can someone set me straight here? Is it possible to root 4.3 but still be S-on?

Thanks.
