David, et al ... Thanks for the hard word and driving to such detail.
I think the foundation of most of this work is the section on application sandboxing. If we can make it much less likely that a poorly written or out and out malicious application will bite users, than we will have a lot more freedom to automate the process. This, in turn, will allow us to let application developers reach users and update their applications in a way that makes sense for their apps and their users, without needing a third party (us!) to get in between. Until we have the sandboxing in place, I don't think that there is really much we can do dramatically improve this situation. As such, I think sandboxing should to be a high priority for 13.04. Cheers, Rick PS: For dorky reasons, I prefer the term "application insulation" to "sandboxing" -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
