Me was referring to unattended background downloads of data files (configuration- files, data files, text files). Concerns along the lines "What puts mock into a special position" that it is allowed to automatically pull *config* files unsupervised from a remote location: Wrt. this, I don't see how mock is any different from * applications contacting a remote counter each time they start up. * games loading their game data from a remote file. * applications dynamically installing plug ins from remote. ... Another concern are usability (fedoraproject.org bottlenecking mock), and security.
