Comment(by ioerror):

 Replying to [comment:1 bleeter]:
 > iirc some discussion of this went down this morning(UGT) and it ended up
 covering a bunch of things including the Win32 installer checking sigs,
 https release note plugin and back office re-engineering. Just because
 there's been no update, please don't think it's not being 'worked on' or
 'considered'.

 In other software engineering projects, a bug without an update for twelve
 months generally indicates that it isn't being worked on nor has it been
 seriously considered.  I'm sure that someone reads them but without
 communication, the silence speaks for itself.

 I think SF's mirror network is part of the problem - using insecure
 infrastructure is part of the problem.

 Thanks for the update, I'm glad this hasn't just died on the vine!
