The changes you talked about don't really make that problem any worse
than it already is.
If master goes down or gets hacked, all mirrors are syncing from it
anyway (directly or indirectly) so you are fucked.

If you worry about it going down, then you provide other masters (you
can give money or hardware or hosting)
If you worry about getting hacked, you use signatures (you can give
money or code)
