It also seems fundamentally flawed - according to this article some permissions don't appear in the list, and hence can't be edited, until they've been used by the app at least once, so you don't have the opportunity to prevent that first use. If it's an untrustworthy app, then turning off the permission after that first use may be too late.
As the linked review says:
In any case, although I prefer the iOS approach overall, I agree that the initial transparency on installation that Android has would be a welcome addition to iOS. Similarly, it seems clear to me that transparent iOS-style permission granularity and prompting before first use would be a useful addition to Android.
