I only care if knowing helps assess quality ("non-Markovian" products). Knowing provenance for its own sake seems pointless.

lol, fair enough. Can help satisfy social justice ideals though (fair trade etc.), if not QA. If believable that is.

What about knowing who made it so you can go get more of it?

hmm... good idea there. Personalizable supply chain. Economies of scale+variety together. Should be doable with smart s/w.
