    Snowden's outing of it during his little exposure event was believed to have gotten the admins of Tails pressured to compromise it, and since then it has been considered burned by those of us in the security community. Furthermore with the loss of I2P, its sole benefit over TBB is that it supports easy encrypted filesystems inside of an encrypted file on a NTFS partition for hiding it alongside windows.

      So how do we know that you are a member of the security community, and not for example a member of the three letter agencies trying to spread FUD?

        Although, both comments do show the importance of reproducible builds. Yeah, its no panacea, but it would help a situation like this.

    Can you direct me to a source detailing this behaviour. If there is a problem then perhaps we should be covering that aspect too.
