I'd agree with you that sandbox entitlements offer a path to the future, if their proper name wasn't "Temporary Exception Entitlements":

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Misce...

Assuming that they'll be available indefinitely strikes me as a willful mistake.

They are temporary because they are granted for situations where Apple has not yet implemented an API or formalized an entitlement. Apple bends over backwards to be developer friendly, they are not going to pull the rug out just for the hell of it.
