worse. If this becomes "normal", then rather than the CTO or CSO or VP iOS Engineering having to unlock the code-signing keys to sign releases (presumably via N of M), it'll have to be automated so that "oh, the FBI needs another custom build for the 4th time this week, just do the build and click here to sign it". At that point the security of the master code-signing keys has evaporated to nothing and we're all sunk.
