I believe tlsdate currently only gets the time from one server. It would
be nice if it could determine the time based on agreement of a quorum of
diverse servers, so that no single source of time needs to be trusted. (I
have talked about this with Jacob Appelbaum but I haven't had time to do
anything about it.)
