This will really Kill the rapid development and bug fix cycles we enjoy with these Open Source programs.

I already knew about the M$ extortion to remove the warning.

The problem with what they did, was everyone got used to clicking 'allow' (with no clue if it really should be allowed). Signing was supposed to be a way for regular folk to know that the program was safe. Charging big $ for the seal of approval, created the reason for bypassing that process.
Now we know a reason W10 was free: Makes Software as a (FEE BASED) Service...even if M$ did not write a line of code.
