Comment(by wmb at firmworks.com):

 Replying to [comment:2 mikus]:
 > How about a clock-rollforward attack -- suppose I see your XO sitting
 there, and surreptitiously in root change the time (and RTC) to say it is
 now the year 2015 - then reboot.  Would your XO from then on keep showing
 the wrong date ?

 That is indeed a risk.  Locks can be used against the owner.

 The feature will have to be enabled with a special manufacturing data tag
 - I forgot to mention that in the description above.
