I wouldn't say that.  It would provide notification of a botched
download (if anybody checks it), or notification of a very
sophisicated man-in-the-middle attack whereby somebody attempts to
hack a system by modifying lilypond tarballs.  In order to gain a
local-user account.

Hey, I didn't claim that it would provide any **useful**
protection, just that it could theoretically protect against
something.  :)
