Hi all,

For now, all bundles aren't signed but in new Sucrose-0.86 updater
control component was introduced(which is based on updater component
from OLPC but doesn't use bitfrost).

Sucrose updater just fetches metadata from ASLO[1] and download
proper xo bundles.

So, the question is, should secure updates from ASLO be a blocker for
0.86 release(it could be https:// access for metadata or signed
metadata updates or so).
