Yes. And how does it's security model work?
What is the root of trust? Are they signed by a Fedora key that I already
have? How can we verify it's integrity? Once installed, how do I verify it's
integrity? How do I check if anything has been modified? Does it integrate
well with SE Linux, IMA, fapolicyd, or openscap? On a locked down system, are
there sysctls that I have undo such as user namespaces? If an app coredumps,
does a problem report get generated? Who gets it?
How can I tell what the security policy that the upstream chose to implement for me.
