That is not exactly the compromise of the build system and/or Fedora key, now is
it? If your own contributors are subverting the system by uploading borked
source, the mutli-key system isn't going to help (and I never claimed that).

For people that are not convinced in the usefulness of this (in principle), go
the a bank and try to open an account. See if they'll be OK with you producing
just one piece of ID.
