A general question, motivated by "I need a different hammer because the one
I'm currently using isn't able to pound screws in properly": Why is PoP
actually required?  And by this I don't mean "why is it in theory a good
thing", I mean what actual attack that's been actively exploited in the real
world will use of PoP prevent?  We've been shipping raw PKCS #10's around for
decades (with no PoP) without causing the collapse of civilisation.

Peter.
