I suppose this would only happen if *no-one* voiced a "no" opinion, meaning 
that our definition of "trust" comes down to a question of burden of proof.

Should someone be required to have a minimum proportion of "yes" votes to be 
counted as "trusted" or should it be enough that no-one really thought that 
they weren't to be trusted?

Have there ever been any "betrayals" of trust? (i.e. has any TU ever abused 
privileges?)
