It only took them a year and a month to fix this. :D
You obviously have no clue about Gatekeeper. It's about allowing secure apps that are NOT on the app store, so apple doesn't make a cent. And it can be overridden with a right click or completely disabled.
Now... can I hold out till 10.9 before I buy a new mbp/mba? That's the question.
With posts like that, I'll bet no one was more pleased than you when Macrumors got rid of the downvote button ;)
And, for the person that asked.. 10.7.5 = 11G56
