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.
