I think it's a brilliant idea. Though there is one feature which I would also very welcome in such a project: a small checksum a the end of the phrase, so that we can make sure that we got it right when writing a fingerprint that someone is saying out loud. Adding 2 words for such a check would help to avoid mistakes. Cheers, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
