Is that helpful though?

CryptoCat is served up by the Chrome app store. Do you have control
over what binary gets distributed to who? Does any assurace exist
beyond the app store's own signing validation?

I thought this was like webmasters and third-party script inclusions.
They will be blind if Google or DoubleClick are compelled to
selectively swap out the scripts they serve to millions of third-party
sites.
