[Bug 1437923] [NEW] click story contains packages that need root

 

Public bug reported:

The Click store contains apps like "Race" that need you to remount the
root partition as rw, and install some additional packages. These apps
just crash when you don't do that.

This gives a really bad user experience. I suggest two solutions:

1. Remove these apps from the store, require all apps to work on unrooted devices.
2. Put these apps in a seperate, hidden-by-default category to not confuse users.
