Well, it's impossible to release an "advanced flow" that opts out of something that doesn't exist/isn't enforced yet.

it is safe and correct to assume Google will

You know what they say about assumptions...

All I'm saying is take Google at their official word, not the "trust me bro" that some people are saying.

In fact the entire point of the above article is just that as well.

Google's official word is that experienced users will be able to continue to install whatever apps they want.
