// ReleaseOracle is an Ethereum contract to store the current and previous
// versions of the go-ethereum implementation. Its goal is to allow Geth to
// check for new releases automatically without the need to consult a central
// repository.
//
// The contract takes a vote based approach on both assigning authorised signers
// as well as signing off on new Geth releases.
//
// Note, when a signer is demoted, the currently pending release is auto-nuked.
// The reason is to prevent suprises where a demotion actually tilts the votes
// in favor of one voter party and pushing out a new release as a consequence of
// a simple demotion.
