Pull requests related to TAP 15: https://github.com/theupdateframework/taps/pull/120

Outstanding items for TAP 15:

  • Can we make it more clear in the object format that a delegations object needs either name or succinct_hash_delegations, and path_hash_prefixes is optional. If the delegations object includes a succinct_hash_delegations field then any path_hash_prefixes field is ignored.
    • would be nice to do so in a way that suggests a relationship between succinct_hash_delegations and path_hash_prefixes
  • Resolve on the use of name vs bin_name_prefix (probably through some experimenting on the PoC) see https://github.com/theupdateframework/taps/pull/120#discussion_r476656697
