Re: [webauthn] Attestation privacy advice creates large scale security risks (#1127)

@emlun I did not meant that user keys are compromised. I mean attestation keys are. If attestation key is compromised, that means that every authenticator that is on the market with that attestation key must be removed, so can't be used for future registrations.

> It is also in the authenticator manufacturer's interest to make the batches as small as possible - to limit financial and brand damage from product recalls, lawsuits, etc. - so I don't think it's particularly likely that a hardware vendor would willingly use the same attestation key for larger batches than necessary.

I think from our past experience,  we've seen that vendors do mistakes all the time. The big. The small. The experienced. The newbies.

Currently we have a policy of 100k devices per attestation key.
