Ah, nice.

Yes, this is a very good point.

I feel like there's a (probably smaller, but still not insignificant) middle ground of people who generally know what they're doing, but would still like the extra layer of protection, for whom the per-app exceptions would be handy. Having it not the default, though, is probably a good thing.

Well, that's effectively what the default is, where the "middle-ground" people will know to go into the contextual menu (or if you're feeling particularly keen, to disable the quarantine bit on the DMG from the command line, which is what triggers the signing check in the first place).
