and I think it would be better to say

- allow apps that only need temporary addresses to request  them.
- if they're not supported, no harm has been done - the app can make
  do with public addresses.

rather than placing the burden on apps to explicitly request 
public addresses and changing the present behavior.

address selection is just the wrong place to encourage use of
temp addresses - the address selection code doesn't know the 
app's needs and can't reliably guess them from the information 
at hand.
