For those following this thread, I've just posted on a similar one. I don't think any fear of having your application shut down will come to fruition. I feel that I could safely say that only applications that generate spam like noise will be removed. I really don't see non-spam like applications being shutdown. Every application has a purpose to either one or a set of users, that is why it was developed in the first place.
I think what Ryan has said is firing a shot against the bow of the spam generating applications - that their type of activity is not wanted on the platform. So in short, your personal projects, applications and tools should all be fine - just don't generate spam with them.
