Will the bootloader be unlockable?

I have loved everything about this tablet and is a worthy successor of my nexus 7, but since the Pixel C is technically not a "nexus" line, will Google still let us unlock the bootloader and root? I'm really hoping so because this thing has so much potential. I wanted to love the nexus 9, but the price was absolutely absurd with nothing really new to bring the table except lollipop.

Thoughts?
