Dave, "exclect"?

Pardon the silly question, but what's all the fuss anyway? If I understand it correctly, all that QuadRooter can do is obtain a root access. Sure, it means it can alter or remove some of the preinstalled bloatware that you cannot remove by standard means but isn't it about it? All the sensitive stuff (your address book, photos, videos, other personal data, network access (that could cost you money if used maliciously)) is in the userland and you grant apps access to those willingly. At least on Android. On Sailfish, there is no such protection at all to start with.
