I glanced at some of the trusted RUBIX documentation a very long time
ago and had the impression that they had thought about these issues
more than we have, and that their integration was more comprehensive
than ours. I didn't understand very much of it, but I think there's a
reason that the word "trusted" is in the name of their product. So I
suggest adding "open source".
