Supporting "anticerts" or whatever you want to call them is a pretty
nest of worms; I'm not convinced the resulting complexity will ever be
worth it, but for now, I think we should at least defer discussion
until after we figure out how monotone's security model should work.
Wrestling out the exact semantics of trust should make us much more
prepared to at least think about what supporting anticerts would
actually involve...
