I'd like to think that I'm not in too small a minority of people who
always verify the .iso files I download...

...but then I see how many people get mad that they can no longer
login as root via gdm and I suspect that a lot of users are in the
"don't care" category. :/

Still, if there's a way to fit in a link either to fp.o/verify or some
other page that explains how Fedora protects users by signing the .iso
and packages (which could in turn link to /verify and /keys), I think
that would be another nice selling point for Fedora.

Maybe it can be as simple as slightly different wording for the "Show
me all download options in one page!" balloon -- but nothing is
springing to my mind immediately.

BTW, great job on the website to all involved!  get.fp.o turned out
really nice for this release.
