I nominate the trust chain model.  Sort of like BGP.  If I speak
bad BGP, chances are that higher powers will edit filter-lists
and distribute-lists, and I'll have "set community kick-me" on my
back for the next three years. ;-)

Granted, BGP isn't foolproof.  We all can recall some rather, uh,
messy BGP screwups that caused widespread problems.  But by and
large, it works rather well.
