Currently, Rainbow is a much weaker protection than, say, the Javascript
sandbox of a browser.  And, realistically, it will never get close to be
that good.

Besides, the way you *install* a program does not affect the way you
*run* it.  I could install the same malicious program by unpacking a zip
file or an rpm (which is a cpio archive with a header).

What could be achieved with the .xo bundles that couldn't be achieved
with an rpm?
