Motivation

Once upon a time we disabled this because we didn't have access to the certificates in the sandbox, and verification wasn't really needed because we're checking the hash of the download afterwards. But these days we do have access to certificates in the sandbox, and features like impure derivations make the second assumption no longer valid. So let's re-enable checking.

Context

Priorities and Process

Add 👍 to pull requests you find important.

The Nix maintainer team uses a GitHub project board to schedule and track reviews.

This is better for privacy and to avoid leaking netrc credentials in a
MITM attack, but also the assumption that we check the hash no longer
holds in some cases (in particular for impure derivations).

Partially reverts 5db358d.
