Nothing new - All applications have to be vetted by Apple to be part of the store.  Does
not mean you have to go through the store for applications.  Take a look at jail-broken
iphones/ipads. Sandboxing applications on macosx will be a difficult process.  Apple has 
also stated in the past that GUI can overwrite CLI setting and vice versa. Wonder if sudo
can restrict commands.
