The security team didn't dictate the implementation-- we said apps need to be
isolated and that sharing should be possible via user interaction. The sharing
mechanism currently does copies aiui via content-hub. It could do, for example,
hard links. Ken Vandine (in CC) might be able to comment further on this point.
I can say that the upcoming storage framework specification deals with (vastly)
improving sharing as well.

As for snappy fixing things-- well, content-hub could in theory do the same
thing today on Touch (and it will have to be updated for snappy).
