It would be a real pain when it first happens, but if the majority of developers were notified via the list and with a note(s) on maemo.org, etc, programs could be repackaged before the update when that's applied. Since nobody will want their users to require red pill mode to install, they'll fit it into one of the "acceptable" categories that most closely fits. --Paul
