I have to find the specific sections, but I recall RFC 6376 talking about
why client verification of signatures is not a great idea.  Keys rotate,
for example, so long-term signature validation is not guaranteed to be
reliable.  People who were around in the RFC 4871 days may remember other
reasons why the general position was that this wasn't something worth
pursuing.

What's changed?
