My take on the issue is that we should make it possible to easily mirror hackage (what the OP asked for), so that people could use it when they wanted to, and have a list of the mirrors on the wiki. This way those who are interested can use them. Like when the mirror is faster/closer to them or to help out when hackage is temporarily down. Those who need the security can choose not to use mirrors, or make their own (private), or develop a secure scheme, when it doesn't exist yet.
It's perfectly understandable, that people doing work/serious stuff need the guarantees, but I bet a many of us are just playing around and developing things for themselves. -- Markus Läll
