System problem fixed or not #

Just examining what's been said:
Note that the [tempest in a teapot] that formed around Adam's findings was about not being able to examine DRM-handling applications such as iTunes.
Quoting your article:
"...that will help you profile and debug your code more effectively, and fine-tune your application's..."
Notice that Apple is saying "your code" and "your application's", the operative word being "your". Not Apple's.
Adam had an argument about the method of excising such applications chosen by Apple had affected some of the statistics/counters of the entire system.
So it sounds as though Apple has changed something...with all applications showing up. It's not clear about whether they addressed Adam's specific complaint.
About the complaints of many others chiming in on comments to Adam's post: many of those were about whether Apple was playing by some "righteous" set of open-source community rules or if they were "pandering to the gods" of DRM.
This latter is a religious issue and probably not worth considering.
