<p class="issue atrisk" title="Efficiency argument is weak">
The "space efficiency" argument for this feature is weak. Fetching one list
with two types of status entries must, presumably, be twice as long to ensure
proper privacy protections. One privacy benefit of doing so is that bit flips
cannot be known to be associated with a particular status unless one is also in
control of the VC that the status is about. Therefore, mixing "revocation" and
"suspension" in a single list that is twice as large has positive privacy
implications.<br><br>
