Hello again. Promise I'm almost done. :-)

Another piece of fundamental infrastructure is also starting to see the
light of day, and we'd appreciate your help in particular if you are
interested in security anyhow. Assertions are the way in which snappy will
validate information that reaches devices to ensure they're coming from a
trusted source. One easy way to look at them is as detached package
signatures, and they'll cover related needs over time.

If you'd like to contribute your ideas and security knowledge to the topic,
please watch upcoming pull requests by Samuele Pedronis here:

Thank you.
