besides that I dont think the costs are that high anymore (once you've build that/these computer/s, you've build it/them...) I also don't see what they would gain by activly infiltrating us (except risk of exposure): we work in the open, we don't have secrets. And "they" can read debian-private anyway... and there are plenty of known and unknown exploits too, to be able to run code. cheers, Holger, who will not sign keys based on transition statements...
