Anyone think that users will eventually become desensitized to the "malicious software" popup? If the process is this complex and buggy I imagine a lot of developers simply won't bother with notarization. Eventually if enough legitimate apps don't bother the popup will become common, and users may be annoyed more by Apple than any particular app. Like how the "run as admin" prompt just became an extra automatic click to many users in Windows.
It's not like the big development shops that do take the time to get the notarization process working get a special green checkmark by their app. After the app has been launched the first time, it's back to an even playing field with the apps that didn't notarize.
