Why would you want them to get into that? It doesn't seem like it's something appropriate for a government to get into.
- zdkl 5y agoWhile 'competing' may not be a good word for it, there's an argument to be made that some software belongs in the commons. This sort of signature/certificate infrastructure is a good example. So why not have it hosted by a public entity? Maybe entrust a couple large libraries with operating and cross-mirroring repositories?
