Well, nobody will recognize difference between rating 2 and 3 or 6 and
7. I think set of three values is sufficient: 1 - allow network/GSM
activity, 2 - ask every time app is trying to open connection/send
SMS/make voice call, 3 - ban without asking.

I wonder if OpenMoko system/library calls can be overriden or catch at
layer which will be able to show dialog popup for setting 2.

I really like that idea. That could be a standard part of EVERY installed app (outside of trusted OpenMoko apps). Just one more step in helping users not shoot themselves in the foot.

As far as the implementation. If this is the way we wanted to proceed, then yeah its possible, but would require a decent amount of work that would have to get incorporated into the main trunk. As a general rule, anything is possible. But it comes down to how much time/effort would it require, and if people are willing to put in that time/effort.
