The text that had been ACKed last night was a3e52973, available at http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/20130723-linux-distribution-packaging-and-b= itcoin.md As far as the PGP goes=E2=80=94 I think using the PGP is good: it's making use of the right tools, avoids issues like we just had where people go changing the content after names had been affixed, shows solidarity with people building security infrastructure that our ecosystem depends on. If you only use it occasionally then its easy for someone to strip it when it _is_ needed and disguise that just as regular non-use. It's my general view that for people working in our domain basic competence and use of these tools, even when they kinda stink, is a kind of civic hygiene. At the same time it's not urgent. It's poorly used by people and will be ignored by most but packagers are the most frequent users of it that I've encountered. Fortunately, it's harmless in any case. If people are interested in offering PGP signatures of it: wget http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/20130723-linux-distribution-packaging-= and-bitcoin.md gpg --clearsign 20130723-linux-distribution-packaging-and-bitcoin.md and post the little signature asc. The result composes nicely: http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/20130723-linux-distribution-packaging-and-b= itcoin.md.asc
