> Command pattern is definitely one pattern we've seen these tamper-evident logs applied to; you can easily imagine a system where, say, config update "commands" are packaged off and written to a TE log, and then workers apply those commands to a system if and only if they are convinced that the commands were properly logged.

It's a useful pattern and it's nice to have a narrowly-focused tool for it.
