This is one reason I like the N900. I worried they'd add this in the PR1.2 firmware, which is why I keep copies of the older firmware around. Worst case we can always revert vai re-load of the base image.
Mind you, all three have only used it for removing apps that had/were malware (Google used it against a banking app written by a phisher that was not affiliated with the bank in question, for example). But the fact that it exists, and isn't blockable, would be enough to make me twitchy if I owned one of these.
