We're part of a community building an entire desktop and server
operating system. We should absolutely aim at a TCB if that makes
doing what we want to do better. ( think it does - Kees or other
security team members will know more).
Of course this is a huge multi year effort, but the only guaranteed
thing is that if we don't aim high, we won't achieve high. We should
schedule a session at UDS to start working on this. You will be there,
right?
