<p class="issue atrisk" title="Efficiency argument is weak">
1984-
The "space efficiency" argument for this feature is weak. One list with two types
1985-
of status entries must, presumably, be twice as long as a list with one type of
1986-
status entries, to ensure proper privacy protections. One privacy benefit of
1987-
doing so is that bit flips cannot be known to be associated with a particular
1988-
status unless one is also in control of the VC that the status is about.
1989-
Therefore, mixing "revocation" and "suspension" in a single list that is twice
1990-
as large has positive privacy implications.<br><br>
1991-
The "retrieval efficiency" argument is also weak. Performing two HTTP retrievals
1992-
instead of one is probably not significant. Performing upwards of five or six,
1993-
on a list that is five or six times larger, might result in fairly meager
1994-
savings over modern versions of HTTP that bundle requests over a single channel
1995-
(such as HTTP/2 or HTTP/3). The requests themselves would save a handful of
1996-
bytes with no significant improvement in retrieval speed.<br><br>
1997-
The Working Group is looking for feedback from implementers and is considering
1998-
striking this feature during the Candidate Recommendation period, since it would
1999-
simplify the specification for implementations to not have to support sets of
2000-
`statusPurpose` values in the status list credentials (again, a meager savings
2001-
in space efficiency at a small cost to retrieval efficiency).
