  To sign or not to sign - that is the quesion - or not.
  Whether it is nobler ... oh never mind ...

  Guys, shee enuff already.  What is the big deal here.

  Its completely obvious that some way of reducing spoofed 
  mirrors is a good thing -  signing (even) rawhide is a 
  good thing - sure its not perfect but it helps.

  Use a different key than is used for released versions if
  its your pleasure.  Change the key every month or every 
  new develop cycle - whatever makes you happy.

  Noone is putting any more significance beyond a little 
  added safety check that lessens the chance of bad things -
  seems enormously rational.
