I think the point of code signing is to ensure that the program was really written by Dropbox, so _if_ you trust Dropbox you should trust the program. That trust should definitely include both Dropbox's good intentions and their competency to prevent their payload system from being subverted.

Only a fool would, after their actions of the past year, still believe this company has good intentions or that their payload system hasn't already been totally compromised (with their cooperation, no less).
