John, what's the concern there? I agree that it's a little more complicated
story to tell, but I think it's pretty reasonable to trust that it can't be
reversed in a useful way. Particularly, there are a lot easier ways for an
adversary to track a (still anonymous!) Fedora installation than this attack
vector, and the advantage (cleaned by standard image prep) is clear.

Sorry, I'm not seeing the connection. Maybe it's just too late in the day.
Can you spell it out for me?
