First off congratulations on the most controversial pull request yet :) Second I think this might come back to a bigger issue of having "Auto update Add-ons" on by default (is it I can't remember) Auto update tends to make sense for security type patches in programs but in apps not so much. If a person chooses to enable auto update then as far as I'm concerned its buyer beware for not verifying you like changes before you update it
