While obviously this is laudable, and better than not having such a mode, it still suffers from that same massive fatal flaw. Apple software is proudly closed source. If we can't audit their software, in the end we're just taking their word for it.

Though I have a feeling that they'd keep quiet about what they can't break and loudly exclaim that something can't be broken when they find a way to crack it.
