Comment(by mikeperry):
Hrmm.. Exactly how much security theater are we buying into here? Say I
also get my own developer key from Apple, can I distribute "Tor Browser
Bundles"? Or, more interestingly, can I give the Transmission developers
$15k for their developer key and tell them to act surprised when it starts
signing rogue Tor Browser Bundles only for a few people inside Iran/China?
In other words: Can we create our own mechanisms for multipath key trust
in the system for updates and/or sophisticated users? Or was this also
forbidden by the God Emperor before his death?
Also, wrt the "experiment": Apple already *does* dare abuse its power in
all sorts of circumstances with respect to App store apps again and again.
For fuck's sake, fart apps were among the first things banned from the
iPhone store.. Trust them? Please... Apple is like a fucking zombie with
its head cut off, and the head was practically criminally insane in the
first place (game recognize game).
But net-net: Yeah, sure. If it's free, I say let's try it out for the 3
weeks that they allow us to do so. I just needed to get all that off my
chest for the historical record.
