I looked at one of our laptops, and there is no /security/lease.sig

Once a laptop is activated, can the lease.sig be removed? It looks like 
that is what happened.

Is 32 XOs considered a lot? How do I apply for an account?

Maybe I should be working on delegated leases instead? Do I need 
standard leases to generate OATS and ACT keys for delegated leases?

Ultimately I want to be able to flash my own signed images. When I 
started down this path, it seemed like flashing OLPC signed images would 
be a good step to work on first, but maybe I should skip directly to 
making delegated leases?
