Ah, in [1], Gervase Markham writes:"The CDM also verifies that the sandbox is one it trusts, so if you patch the sandbox, the CDM will no longer work."
Predictably, many commenters ask how that will work. Gervase says there will be a technical FAQ in a day or two (I dunno why he can't just give the answer).
