Title:
  click store contains packages that need root

Status in Click Package metadata search service:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
