Comment(by jroith):
Replying to [comment:3 SteveJobsOnIce]:
> How is the evil bit set? Does this only work with Safari?
Safari, Chrome and I think Firefox set it. Transmission (BitTorrent)
also sets it. In fact, the bit was already used in previous versions,
such as OS X Lion to trigger the "downloaded from the Internet"
warning.
> I wonder what Gatekeeper will do about auto-updating applications (e.g.
Thandy). Will users get stuck with obsoleted (but signed) software that
refuses to update?
Nope. Gatekeeper will only check the affected Application once and
clear the bit afterwards. It can then be freely changed or replaced by
new versions.
