I am wondering what was the thought process behind this gem. I think this looks like a knee jerk reaction and it's particularly lacking polish coming from Apple. I mean clearly Apple knows that "overhauling" systems and updating software is no guarantee for future security. It's not a one time fix - it's an ongoing process. And rebuilding entire database - that's just crazy talk! This is especially inexcusable because the target of this update are developers!
Security is hard - you've got legacy crap, 3rd party/unsupported code, you've got open source code and then you have your own code that has evolved to be a Frankenstein. I don't have a problem with Apple getting it wrong once - but the statement does nothing to make developers confident that Apple will finally get web services right.
