We don't know that the RHEL key has been compromised; perhaps dodgy
packages were fed to a signing mechanism that was not directly
accessible to the attacker (and maybe they detected the intrusion
because someone noticed something fishy about the packages they were
signing?) .... we don't know the full story. Maybe RHEL will have
updated keys distributed via RHN. *shrug*
