Hmmm... let's see, Apple is testing unapproved software with their next update, and warning the community that there might be challenges? I guess I actually find this impressive...
Their message seems very consistent to me. Take, for example, AppleTV 3rd party software or FairPlay cracks. In the case of the former, while updates 'broke' 3rd party software, the community quickly responded with fixes. In the case of FairPlay, they haven't exactly spent much in the way of resources to 'fix' the problem (unlike M$).
Personally, I want Apple to follow whatever roadmap they have... and let the community compete. In my mind, it is synergistic relationship that breeds innovation.

you high?
the new update deliberately tries to lock unlockeds and deliberately tries to lock 3rd party apps from being installed.
