Or it's an interesting insight into how the mind works of the person who reads that mail. Clearly, Ram is only trying to get around the rules because there's a bug in the iPad version of iOS.

Apple probably knows that it's their bug, and can probably reproduce it easily. But they also know that they have to keep their rules about unapproved apis consistently administrated.

So, it's a massive exception (in the throwing an exception sense) rather than an exception (in the sense of getting an allowance to the rules), so it gets handled at the top.

It's interesting to see how a company handles issues like this. I've had similar end much worse.
