If I grant AndAppStore "install applications without permission" then I expect it to be able to do so. (Or perhaps just "upgrade applications without prompting" and use the same criteria market does - same keys, same permissions..)
If they say "We use secret sauce so that our market can do things nobody else can", then fine. But they don't. They say, bluntly, "no secrets, our apps don't do anything your apps can't do, its an Open Platform!" which is blatantly false.
