Again, this change would seem to be designed to allow developers to create and use their own interpreted languages within apps, as long as they aren't downloaded, which would open up a gaping security hole.
I think that is not so much about security, and more about Apple keeping a stranglehold on the platform. Which means ongoing antitrust abuses in what does and does not get on the platform, as well as getting a cut of any layered software business (because they can force you to give them a cut).
IMHO, the iPhone is still a platform to avoid developing for, unless you really must be on it.
I am speaking of software development in general here. Some Racket-related project might well have a pragmatic reason to lend aid and comfort to the iPhone (e.g., a desire to run on *all* the platforms that students use).
