Let me see - The Gnupg package is included with Fedora. RPMs are
signed with a GPG key - each version has its own key. The extra
repositories have their own keys. When their was a possibility that
the keys had been compromised, new keys were issued. It is not like
Fedora isn't already using gpg...

About the only change I can see would be signing the files needed to
do a network install...
