That article's premise is that the Android security model is something that I want. It really isn't.
replyThe F-Droid model of having multiple repositories in one app is absolutely perfect because it gives me control (rather than the operating system) over what repositories I decide to add. There is no scenario in which I wish Android to question me on whether I want to install an app from a particular F-Droid repository.
