Of course I know this. And you do too. And yes, gmc has this as
well.
The problem is not that *we* know that this exists. But the problem
is that I have *seen* people confused while trying to install software
from the network.
Yes, they are not Linux people, they just happened to be using Linux
because someone told them `It is easy', well, as it turns out, it was
not.
I am trying to remove roadblocks here. Try spending some time with a
complete newcomer to Linux and watch them run into problems. For each
problem, try to think of a solution rather than thinking of a
problem.

You realize that this gives you no security at all right? That if
someone inserts a virus/trojan into a program that you trust you will
go and set the bit manually, and you will run it, and you will not get
a warning, and you will be just as bad, right?
So who are you trying to fool here?
