Hi all,

I've recently been prototyping a new homescreen, and I wanted to make it a
privileged app if possible. As the homescreen is the primary interface to
access bookmarks since 2.1, it is basically impossible to write an adequate
homescreen unless you're a certified app.

Long-term, we want to move away from data-stores, but I suggest that
short-term, read-only access should be allowed for privileged apps. This
would allow third party homescreens to work well (there are already
web-activities for saving/editing and removing bookmarks) and I don't think
it would encourage the use of the API (as you can't write or create your
own data-stores).

Does anyone have any thoughts or objections on this? If we're allowing
third party homescreens, this seems like a blocker to me.

Cheers,

--Chris
