... Intelligence Services can easily setup their own base stations to capture SMS traffic, or require the ISP to filter out certain SMS messages without the user ever knowing. This way they can authenticate themself as an owner of one of the phone numbers and simply pull all normal conversations history out of Telegram (with the exception of the secured chats which require the key).

The key idea is that procrastinating does not mean doing absolutely nothing. Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do marginally useful things, like gardening or sharpening pencils or making a diagram of how they will reorganize their files when they get around to it. Why does the procrastinator do these things? Because they are a way of not doing something more important. If all the procrastinator had left to do was to sharpen some pencils, no force on earth could get him do it. However, the procrastinator can be motivated to do difficult, timely and important tasks, as long as these tasks are a way of not doing something more important.

That will allow users to keep loading open source firmware the same way they do now.

This is an interesting use case of Cherrypy. When RoR first came out more than 10 years ago, I'd always envy ruby community for having Mongrel, pure ruby based web server. But now python also has Cherrypy, pure python, production ready web server.
