First, thanks for all the work to get this back on track.

I went and got the new spins of qt-4.4. Now I can't install the because 
I don't have the new key. I realize I could turn off the key, but after 
last month, that seems dicier than it used to be.

In any event, is the new key for updates 9 available someplace. I 
realize it'll be part of fedora release eventually. But the public key 
itself, is it out there someplace now?

Thanks again.
