Indeed, that sounds like a plan; of course work such as CoqInCoq
etc... are also very welcome steps.

What I was trying to answer is more "is the current Coq implementation
adversarial-resistant"

I think it not and it was not designed to be, getting a secure
proof-checker will require new (and exciting) research and engineering work.

There is a danger IMHO in sending the opposite message.

Kind regards,
E.
