I'm not sure where you got your numbers, and anyway I fail to see why this is a valid reason. We're not discussing anonymity sets here :) > - It's safer, since /usr/local/sbin/htpdate starts curl as root. If Tails runs htpdate as root in an environment where /usr/local/sbin/ can be written to by an attacker, then we have quite bigger problems, and I doubt hardcoding paths will be very useful. Does Tails do that? > - If you ever add a curl uwt wrapper, you will still want to use > /usr/bin/curl directly, since you are using --socks5-hostname there. I hope we don't ever get there. If we do, then we will have to reconsider this, sure! Any other reason to do this change?
