I scanned the whole thread in search for one reasonable person telling you all that the reason for disabling redpill mode is Ovi Store, but I couldn't find that answer, which is surprising.

So I'm telling you all now, Ovi Store is the reason for removing redpill mode. If you could enable redpill mode, you could then bypass Ovi Store and install applications directly using Application Manager. The argument that it would be too dangerous for end-users is also a valid one, they tend to be more scared of the terminal.

Of course that doesn't stop you from installing apps from the Ovi Store using apt-get, which works just fine (for example run "apt-cache search offscr-*" as root to list all the Ovi Store games) as long as you know the name of the package you want to install. This is great for me, because I can't stand having to log in to Ovi Store every time, click install *again* after getting logged in (why doesn't it ask me to log in first and then show the installation button, what's the point), then sit around and wait while seemingly nothing is happening, then wait for the whole list of repositories to get downloaded again (which takes a long time if you have extras-devel enabled, so if we get 300 apps into Extras it's going to get ugly for everyone), then click Install yet again in the Application Manager... There is absolutely nothing compelling about the experience there, so I prefer the terminal. Want solitiare? Just run apt-get install offscr-solitaire (as root) and be done with it.

Sorry, this is more of an angry rant about Ovi Store than anything else.
