When you start a project in eclipse, I automatically grabs all permissions, whether you use them or not. You actually have to go in and edit the manifest to remove all the permissions you don't use.
This is too much "developers, developers, developers"
If the person can't be bothered to manually edit the permission list (and I think this changed, because I remember having to add a permission when I did an Android test project), then they shouldn't use the resource!
But yeah, let's add all permissions to any crappy app.
