Well, yes. If you choose to ignore revocation entirely, you will never have a dead path because of it. That will happen only if you path-build, then check revoc

Well, yes. If you choose to ignore revocation entirely, you will never have a dead path because of it. That will happen only if you path-build, then check revocation as two steps. (IIRC, Windows used to do this, or is still doing it.) IMO, a good path building implementation has to support revocation, but that's for another conversation :)
