A positive point: extra resources, could be useful for reproducibility
testing, ...?

A negative point: extra points through with malware can be introduced
(->compromises).  Can be solved by reproducible builds and variation of
"guix challenge". Unfortunately, "guix challenge" is inherently racy.
"guix substitute" currently only checks that the narinfo has a _single_
authorised signature, maybe it can be adjusted to allow the user to
ask: ‘only consider a substitute to be authorised if the same hash is
signed by N different authorised keys’?

Other points: ...?

Greetings,
Maxime.
