It's a hint that not every user likes 'auto-key-retrieve', but instead
only manually retrieve keys, if it makes sense to the user to retrieve
a key. I don't see a valid reason, to e.g. retrieve the keys that
belong to an unknown signature of an email send via a mailing list,
just to get automatically keys when building something from AUR. I'm
surprised that you don't question the recommendation to use
'auto-key-retrieve' without providing this hint. I don't care much
about a privacy risk, but I don't see a reason to collect unneeded keys.
Could you explain why it's useful to collect each key that belongs to
an email signature, that is completely irrelevant to you, just to
automatically add keys that are required to build a package from AUR,
too?
