According to the release notes mail: - The developer who uploaded an app version can download that version's code using the appcfg.py download_app command. You can use this to download both Python and Java application code.
I agree with Geoffrey, the balance is right if you have to have this feature. But, personally I would just prefer either not having this option OR just make it something that must be enabled. For me this feature creates questions that do not exist now. And, yes I know that if Appstats enabled you can sit there and browse through the code. Not being able to _easily_ download the code is like a door-lock, it keeps the honest people honest.
