Interesting. What it showed me is that we cannot anticipate every
contingency.
Dave, I'm sorry, but it didn't show that at all. The specific
problem that arose here WAS anticipated and analyzed and the
correct thing to do in this case WAS determined and
documented. See RFC 3797 section 5.1 for specifics.
There were two problems and very few security analyses anticipate more than one
failure simultaneously. Reducing the number of critical assets, i.e. removing
the dependence on the list order, significantly reduces the scope for
unexpected interactions.
