What about adding an option, "proceed anyway, I understand the risks" ?

Currently in 10.7 there is something for downloaded apps the first time it pops up and has an option to continue. Why not continue with that? And yes this will just lead to people deactivating the thing completely and it will now offer 0 protection in the future.

Idiots will just click it anyway.

This doesn't appear if you have the preference to run everything turned on.

Idiots will Google for how to work around the warning and run the program anyway.

That takes a lot more effort. Besides, most apps will be signed by the time it's released.
