most non-casual users (ie geeks like us) would know how to get what we want (vanilla ICS). I don't see a problem, they are keeping the casual users happy with no major changes, but know that the tech savy will easily manage to just install

I clicked one, looked at what permissions it wanted, and had an idea! You can set the default sharing settings while giving permission, so I simply set it to only share with myself! That way I can click the links, read what i like, and only
