We don’t use that anymore, but all of these things have been used in this applications, plastic has more advantages than not rotting in some cases.
Wooden airplanes were still used successfully in the 2nd world war and in general aviation they still exist.

- Comment on Plastic-eating bacteria discovered in the ocean 2 days ago:
There are plenty of wood eating bacteria and fungus all around you and yet wooden buildings still exists.
These microorganisms need a favourable environment to start digesting wood, for example. That’s why you can stack firewood outside without it being decomposed, but leave a tree out in the mud and it gets eaten.
There are exceptions, something like Serpula lacrymans, can bring down whole buildings, but even there the wood needs to be humid enough for it to be attacked by this fungus.

Sorry but this whole thing is just snake-oil.
You can verify and sign your whole trust chain down to the last shared library and it doesn’t matter when you don’t know what the binary blobs on your TPM / CPU / BIOS / NIC are doing.
The only guarantee to a secure system is openness an all of that signing won’t help you there.

I don’t trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.
If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.

Interesting, I wonder if you could do the same now with Internet. We know that DSL works over a wet rope.
