I think this bug should be closed.  Reasons are:

1) Adding that line won't work for all cases (only works with FL yum, and
   FL yum not available for all releases, people use other yums, etc).
2) The page already says you should use the FL yum and the FL yum.conf
   instead if possible, which would give you the desired effect.
3) Using it can cause problems with unsigned packages, etc.  (In particular
   if you mix other repos in, etc).
4) Using it requires additional steps (importing the needed gpg signatures, 
   etc).
5) The gpg checks and keys are documented elsewhere.

If anyone can explain to me otherwise, please do.  But my feeling is this
is a non-issue really, and the bug should be closed with a WONTFIX or
whatever it is.
