I think, as already discussed here [1] and [2], that TBB *must* goes in
all kind of application store.

We should re-consider which is the KPI (key performance indicator) of
the "Effective Security" provided by Tor Browser Bundle.

Is the "Perfectness of the piece of software" ? I think no.

Is the "Amount of Anonymous Web Browsing Hours" spent by the users that
need it, worldwide? It think yes.

So, if the "Effectiveness" of the security provided by TBB is measured
that way, the "Outreach" to facilitate "Adoption" became a strategical,
foundamental part of the "Security Strategy" of TBB.

To improve the "Effective Security" of TBB, we must improve the
"Outreach" by facilitating and increasing the "Adoption" .

Practically, it means that the end-user must have a one-click-install
solution on all the platform that are used.

This, obviously, include also Apple App Store.

If that kind of evaluation would be a standard measure for Tor Project,
then i think that many small stuff will change here and there in the way
the software get delivered to the end-user.
