Maybe one could imagine a scenario where some court-order is issued to create fake future canaries to be released by law enforcement at a future date. If this order is appealed and the decision reversed, then the fake-future canaries without proof-of-freshness are indistinguishable from real-future canaries, whereas with proof-of-freshness you could at least tell the difference?
IANAL, but there seems to at least be at least *some* (contrived) scenario in which it might be marginally useful. Since there's virtually no cost or risk to including it... why not? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
