yes, but they serve objects because we're radical implementors who don't do the whole activities thing

What if only the activity is signed (as is often the case) and the object is not fetchable due to let's say some network error? -

@julian i see... In general i think in distributed systems it makes a lot of sense to keep the source intact while consuming the data you need. Other projects might need to consume a different set of fields and the overhead is minimal...

Once fixed:

Just a note that I endorse @julian's suggested approach here, and this is how the Discourse plugin has implemented its backfill feature.
