And you're the guy who pays me my wasted time for making pretty
announcements, right?

No personal pun intended, but at least i do hate most the 'formatting
announcement' part of this 'job'.... 

... if you want to pay for that, you better pay redhat, which is making
those pretty announcements.

All the RPMS are signed with the official keys, so it would not bee
even needed to sign the announements itself. At the end, only RPM
signature is important, all the rest is just extra.

my .02?
