I agree that Google has done a lot to stop custom ROMs and many projects have declined as a result. However, they are yet to take more extreme measures such as requiring all boot loaders to be locked etc. (which would damage Google greatly, making this so unlikely as to make the probability of this happening negligible) My bad for not communicating this in the original comment.
