Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:9 mikeperry]:
 > I think the app sharing case isn't that bad to break, because people
 should be sharing the .dmg rather than .app dirs. However, we may also be
 breaking the USB drive usecase with this change, since when you take the
 drive to a new computer Gatekeeper will barf at the modified app.

 I don't think the quarantine bit gets set when app bundles are copied to
 or from a Flash drive (but I do not have a computer that is running Mac OS
 10.11 El Capitan, so it is possible Apple made changes in that OS
 release).
