Can an upcoming signed software release automatically disable the
anti-owner "security" system on old lockdown laptops? Any new, signed
Forth release could look for the original OLPC signing keys and
disable security on laptops that depend on those, avoiding changing
any laptop that has custom signing keys.
Including this code in each new, OLPC-signed release, would tend to
eliminate the problem.
