And it's not as if non-Sandboxed applications won't be used. They'll just be distributed outside the app store. So all of the potentially "dangerous" apps are one-more-step removed from Apple's oversight and ability to pull the app and halt downloads. Gatekeeper gives them some power in this regard, but what's the point of not allowing them in the Mac App Store? Is the PR from having a keylogger in the MAS really that different from the recent Instagram password harvester for iOS, or a Mac keylogger that was direct-downloaded?
