It certainly does. Just imagine what will happen if you make yourself wanted by the authorities and then show your (valid) documents to some police officers. In case you don't have valid documents, there will be other ways to check or verify your identity, though. At least in Germany, even for 'trivial' court cases like traffic accidents, a valid ID document is required. I would be very surprised if this is not the case in your country. > I agree that we should trust and use government ID for identity > check in Debian, but: > - it should be one control out of more others > - stop the FUD.

You want more control than simple ID checks and you want to kill open source? > We have higher level of security/trustiness, but please don't > destroy the real man, who do the real job: the upstreams. I don't think that this was the intention of Steve's mail. Cheers, Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
