True.  Some of that lack is just due to not enough hours in the day of
the folks that are doing the work to put the distro together.  Jesse
Keating is working on a signing server tool that is intended to help
spread the work load (securely) so that a few more folks can help out
in some aspects.  That will hopefully free up time to work on other
integration issues and checks.
