It doesn't make the system bulletproof,  but it makes it a little harder 
to break, and, perhaps more importantly, adds accountability, i.e. helps 
to figure out at which point the source was corrupted. Remember the 
original Linux kernel trojan: it was discovered because the bitkeeper 
checksums showed an unaccounted-for chunk.
