Wow, so you will be installing a random RPM package? Did you know the package could contain a RPM pre/post install script which could:
1) Grab all of your address book contacts,
2) Send compromising SMSs to all of them (plus a few "premium service" SMSs to inflate your bills!),
3) Zip your documents folder and upload to some chinese WWW server,
4) Then proceed to write randomly over your eMMC _permanently_ bricking the Jolla.

The JollaStore RPM packages are somewhat safer, but only because they are manually/statically analyzed.

Just an example of why I think "security scares" are bad. People tend to misplace their fears...
