Hi,

linux-service:

Sure.

Some drawbacks include:

 - The "3.16" bits have to come from somewhere that can be trusted.

 - Depending on the environment this script is run in, you may be
   trusting only our current signing key, or our current signing key
   and older ones, or any key in the user's keyring.

 - Any ISO image that got signed by one of the aforementioned keys
   will pass this verification. So the mirror you're using could send
   users an old ISO and the script would still be happy. It has
   happened in the past that our Upgrader was broken in a Tails
   release, so this may lead to users running a dangerously obsolete
   Tails without noticing.

So yeah, automated installers and upgraders are a hard problem :/

Cheers,
