Agreed we can't ask for a user to create a profile for every application, apparmor profiles can be shared, and having a generic profile that can be opted into makes sense. We are working towards it, this is just the first iteration. One of the things we are working on is abstracting what the current set needs in the way of permissions so we can refine the profiles. Some will remain individual application profiles some will become more generic as this evolves.

One of the things that will help is if we can move this from an esoteric log message to a user prompt. We want to be really careful with user prompts but once we have the main set of applications covered prompting the user that the application requires this additional permission, similar to how Mac's ask about whether you really want to run an application downloaded from the internet, and doing the profile setup/tagging in the backgound instead of having the user do it makes this a lot more usable.
