Revocation has never been used under fire.  Many
would expect it to fold up and collapse under the
slightest attack, it's simply too complex, too much
of a paper solution to risk real value on, IMHO.

(I recognise that there are a lot of people that have
invested a lot of effort in revocation.  I'm sorry about
that, there's nothing that can really be done about
the facts.  Revocation is not supported or utilised
AFAIK by anyone who has value at risk.)
