Hi, we merged this group into pkg-privacy-maintainers, so I'm moving the thread 
to that list instead.

I reviewed the Tox documentation some time last year and was not comfortable of 
their understanding of security and privacy issues. Their security argument was 
pretty much "we'll bootstrap stuff via a DHT and assume that this gives us 
enough privacy".

Lots of programs probably have less security and privacy than Tox, but given 
their marketing claims, the above observations was not reassuring. Things might 
have changed in the meantime, but I suggest any prospective packagers to 
evaluate their claims critically.
