Missing Face Unlock on a few Galaxy Nexus phones

Mine shipped with ICS v4.0.1 and there was no Face Unlock option among the Screen Unlock options (just as Chris described in his cellphones.ca question). I guess an update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 will solve the mystery.
(4.0.4 just came out a few days ago, but it is reported to have serious issue with losing connectivity while in sleep mode ... so it's probably a no go for me)

Bootloader unlock did it

Unlocking the bootloader wiped the phone and after the initial setup Face Unlock magically appeared in the respective menu. Smile I'm not sure how is this related, the OS version still remained 4.0.1. But I'm glad that the wipe initiated by the unlocking of the bootloader cleared out any factory settings that might have screwed up a few things (eg. disabled Face Unlock and who knows what else).
