 * The automated update for WordPress is very handy but has me slightly concerned
   for boxen which may have a poisoned DNS cache.
 * Is there any verification (in terms of DNS correctness or zip file verification)
   that the update which is downloaded from wordpress.org is actually the one from
   the real wordpress.org?
