Maybe I'm wrong but Web Attestation will also be a death knell for Linux devices (not Android/Chrome OS) as far as being able to use them as equal clients to use the Web goes. They're simply too diverse and 'hackable' as a plotform for remote attestation to work reliably and thus they'll be excluded altogether (except a few 'blessed' distros that will then become industry controlled, and not Linux in spirit anymore).

Cory Doctorow's keynote from 28C3 is prescient - "The coming war on general computation" [1]

Do you think that Doctorow was expecting at least 9 years till this putative war got started?
