Dare I hope for OS-wide copy-and-paste? I daren't. The disappointment would be to great.

I take that to mean that AppStore rejection notices would still be covered by an NDA, no? This, coupled with the revamped commenting system, are nice first steps - but I'm still a bit concerned about the banning/rejecting of apps based on the fact that they duplicate/compete with Apple's apps. And I'm a fanboy! “Please note that unreleased software and features will remain under NDA until they are released.”
