1. The monitoring client does not ensure that the checkpoint was created recently, so a malicious log can conceal malicious entries from monitors by serving an old checkpoint.
2. Though the age keyserver policy is not configured this way, the post suggests you could create a policy that requires only a minority of witnesses (e.g. 3 of 10) to cosign a checkpoint. If you do this, then monitors have to get checkpoints that are cosigned by at least 8 of the 10 witnesses. Otherwise, a malicious log could present one view to relying parties that is cosigned by one set of witnesses, and a different view to monitors that is cosigned by a different set of witnesses. There is currently no mechanism specified for monitors to get these extra cosignatures, so if you go with a minority policy you'll need to invent your own stuff in order for witnessing to actually accomplish anything.
I'll add a note to the part of the article that mentions non-majority policies.

age is designed to be composable and very stable, and this shell combination works well enough, so it's unlikely we'll build it straight into age(1).Of all the words we could've used to explain how to pronounce something
Glad I preserved a tweet that commented on a subheadline at The Verge from when the creator of the GIF died:
Subheadline from The Verge: "It's pronounced 'jif'"
Tweet: "I guess he's with jod now"
There was a theory floating around back in 2018 that the append-only nature of the SKS network makes it effectively illegal due to the GDPR "right to erasure" but nothing came of that and the SKS network is still alive:
