This is probably true for the same sheeple who swear by Lightroom and 
Photoshop. However, for enlightened Mac users of dt and say, GIMP, I don’t 
think that it’s an issue. As has been shown, they accept the unsigned DMGs 
because they understand that darktable isn’t a commercial product. If the 
members of the former group complain, so be it. They can complain along with 
those who lament that GIMP isn’t a functional replica of PS. Meanwhile, the 
rest of us can continue to benefit from the use of these great programs. 
I’d hate for the devs to halt packaging for MAC just because having to sign the 
packages gets in the way.
