Yes, with the small distinction that the users who have access to apps
installation are (or should be) administrators, who could have
overlooked the potential trouble, but may take such a warning much
more seriously than your "random user".

"With great power, come great responsibility" : ease of installation
of 3rd party apps (which is another great feature of OwnCloud !),
shouldn't mask the true reality of what happens : a 3rd Party app
software, not necessarily ckecked for security, is installed on a
widely accessible server ! A warning seems in order there.

With the current architecture, I don't feel in any way like I can tell
to anybody : "I've created an app, you can get it (like a hundred
others) on the apps.oc.com store."
I would feel like sending them straight to a Trojan Horse's home ground !

OK, great. Should I in the meantime open it as a bug ?
Or will it be re-qualified as a feature ?
Any planning on the next release timing ?

I understand now isn't the best time to raise the issue. Should I have
waited post-release ?
If so, let's all let it rest, and count me in for raising it after the release.

Cheers,
(and even if it may not be evident from the tone of my answers, Thanks
for the great SW!)
