Jup. As others have pointed out, if Apple were willing to lie about the extent of this system and its inception date, why should we suddenly trust that they won't extend its functionality. They themselves explicitly state that the program will be extended, so if this is the starting point I don't think I will be around for the ride.

It's a shame as I really love some of their privacy-minded features (e.g. precision of access to the phone's sensors and/or media).
