Almost got me. Fixing for old-yum would be bonus. Though, I think the 
true bonus would be incremental update.  Still thinking about it 
though.  Mass --resign is a burden.  Rerun of metadata is a burden.  If 
there could be a MANIFEST from build to sign to metadata to publish 
incrementally operating on stuff surrounding the list, then managing 
thousands of packages becomes less of a burden.
