This is unfortunate. The google toolbar opt-in was one of the things that most impressed me about the company when I first joined.

It's still opt-in, is still fairly transparent about what enabling PageRank does, and still points to the full privacy policy.
Personally, I would have blown through the "Read this carefully" screen as another EULA. Even with the additional warning, and I'd bet other users do too. On the other hand, having it ask me, after being installed, about an incremental additional feature that could be enabled, but shares additional information in a quick easy to consume blurb of text... I'm much more likely to read it and ponder what clicking "yes" will do.
