    Regardless, it IS a distinct class of installable that needs a name. What would you rather we call it when you have to defeat a walled garden to install software without actually jailbreaking the device?

      Does it? I’d rather distinguish the walled garden variety, e.g. “Download and Install via PlayStore”. Because that’s the special case, not the sideloading, which literally just means executing the installation package.

      Direct installation or something similar would work just fine.

        What are the relative advantages? We already have a word…

          At this point we probably can’t change it but if you read the comments above you’d know the answer to your question.
