The set of trusted sources will be under control of a power-user: you can just add some GPG keys to the right place, but there is no UI to do it. You can also switch the whole lock-down machinery off by going to red-pill mode. So whaddaya think? Useful? Too painful? Too difficult to escape from?
I like it. The whole thing, especially the part quoted above. I don't think there's any need for a this version or newer meta-package with the ability to override the system or add trusted sources as you described above. The community can always create such a package if it really becomes necessary for power-users; meta packages are straight forward enough. But after bricking my device at least twice during the first week I had it by doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" it would be nice to have a strict version-dependent meta package. Then even apt-get would complain about conflicts on the command line. I like it. How soon can we start ;) --Paul
