Why does the TB require closed-source components? I understand that the code has to be inalterable, but since it is a small and well-defined piece of infrastructure it could be crypto-signed once and for all. Having source code access doesn't give anyone more privileges than a binary blob. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
