I like the idea of all the LED lights in the data center blinking in
synchronization and outputting the UDF fingerprint of the common axiom
of trust.

Someone sitting in the data center can instantly tell which device(s)
are not synced to either the common time source or the common root of
trust.

It means that there is actually a point to all those blinking lights.
