Not Really.

I have been loading R binaries for almost 10 years from CRAN, if not
longer.  If the SHA is ok, I don't care about Apple's Nanny mechanism.

And, it still warns on the first run, whether you really want to run a
program downloaded from the Internet.

The correct statement wouldhave been, something like: "Be careful when
you do that and only load binaries from reputable sources such as CRAN"

I really, really, really do not understand, after almost 40 years of
doing this (sendmail anyone?), why Apple wants to make an automated
start of Postfix requiring the SIP to be disabled off of the Recovery
Boot for a simple change of the launch control files.
