This does remind me of one issue that while a little off topic for this
thread....
If i wanted to get, for example the SHA265 checksums from a verified
source, how would i verify this currently? There doesnt seem to be an
SSL site for www.freebsd.org and its not too hard to redirect someone to
a fake website.
What would be a more reasonable list to request this on?
