Hi Tim
The problem is not developers ensuring their identities by signing their apps.
It's that there's now a (small) barrier for the end user in installing unsigned
apps.
The implementation has yet to be seen, but will getting around this barrier
simply be a pop up ("press OK if you really trust this software", the
implementation most people are familiar with but largely ineffective IMHO), or
will the INSTALL file include OS X specific directives to circumvent the walled
garden? ("OS X users must CTRL-Click to install this application").

[FUD] OS X won't trust those keys, only the ones that come from apple [/FUD]
