Depends on the threat model. Are you worried about downtime,
or are you worried about the enemy setting up an RSS feed of
your battle plans? Each would suck. ;)

Transitive trust attacks could be gigantic, especially if you
figure that it's all being tunnelled over an encrypted black
core point-to-point network. How do you detect attacks and
track them if they are being done over Type-1 crypto?
