While working on the Tails incremental updates feature [1],
I discovered (thanks to Robert Ransom) that, in some threat models one
often considers when using Tor, upgrades are much harder to do safely
than I initially thought. I strongly suggest reading the TUF project's
documentation [2] to learn how much.
