There are iOS apps in the App Store allowing you to run unmodified Linux i386 binaries, so I think that ship has sailed. Of course Apple is only very weakly guided by precedent in their application review policies, as far as I can tell, so I don't think anybody can predict what they'll do in this case.

Yeah, but those apps have those "unmodified Linux i386 binaries" embedded into them where Apple can review them as part of the app's release, no?
