I think the user education aspect is interesting. It is unhealthy for people to think the "don't copy" bit actually works; it causes them to make poor security decisions. Any time we can demonstrate to users that this bit is purely advisory, it helps everyone. (Well... everyone except those who, when shown the shortcomings of the "trusted client" security model, believe the solution is to get rid of untrustworthy clients.) -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
