Right, still no satisfying answer. :-/
Given that the current RSA state isn't so useful for ensuring
fairness (as Colin has laid down), are there other infra-
structures needed/ possible to offer more fairness/ trust?
If so, who'd decide what is legal and produce blessed binaries?
Without an agreement this would eventually end up with the
infra- structure providers, like domain owner, server owners.
As much as I appreciate the current infra-structure, if there is
no clarification on this part, we might need others.

Right.
