Comment (by gk):

 I still like the updater hardening idea but I can see how the parts that
 got implemented create overhead, especially if they have been unused for
 such a long time. Additionally, we won't have time to work on this this
 year anymore, I think, and given our likely (funding) prios for the next
 two years I doubt implementing the missing things will be done by then.
 Especially, as we still need to iron out the application part of prop 227
 (so, it's not just a matter of coding something).

 So, all in all and even though it pains me to say this: I think it's not
 unreasonable to remove those unused parts for now. If we want to get to
 that kind of hardening at some point we should take a fresh look at
 proposals that came up meanwhile (cosigning/CHAINIAC etc.) and make sure
 we get all the relevant bits implemented while working under Sponsor $foo.
