Back in November there was the discussion (see link below) saying (I hope I get this right)

(1) Mac EndpointSecurity system extensions *cannot* be distributed through the Mac App Store

(2) Mac NetworkExtension system extensions *must* be distributed through the Mac App Store

but that there was internal Apple discussion about changing this policy.

(A) Has there been any policy changes?

(B) Has anyone pushed a Mac app with NetworkExtensions in an enterprise, and if so, how was the enablement of the NetworkExtension handled on each Mac?
