EDIT: The point I'm making is that they just made a blanket statement that they cannot possibly achieve,
or else they would not have functional repository.
There seems to be some negativity here in this thread but frankly this is what i expect out of a distro and that is at least some attention to security. By the say this doesnt stop anybody from installing dodgy code themselves. It does make you responsible for security breached and questionable code.
In the end we might lose a handful of apps which is a small price to pay to get decent auditting.
