Ahem, Russ, this is something of a bold claim, unless you stress the ALL :)
There have been some deeply troubling patches in the past, I hope you're not
trying to dismiss that.
And about mis-signatures, may I remind you of the fact that a Microsoft
certificate was wrongly released and signed by Verisign a number of months
ago ?
Enabling a world-wide auto-update feature does indeed seem much of a
security risk to me.

Stefano
