"security" purposes), and becomes entirely useless for me.
As I understand the proposal:
1. There is a mechanism for users to add their own digest lists, if they
want. The change proposal could be a little more clear on how this would
work.
2. The proposal calls for a checkbox in Anaconda to enable the feature.
(We probably do not actually want a checkbox in Anaconda, though.) It
also says "The feature might be enabled later by the user without any
change required for the image generation" — which I think is primarily
saying that the feature could be turned on without needing to remake the
boot image, but which also seems to also say that it's not necessarily on
by default.
