Hi Björn,
I have not commented on this till now and both Joe's email is
needlessly provocative as well as your dismissal is a bit content-less.

The question is simply, how can you trust build time verification if
you do not have INPUT time verification ?
What prevents me from putting *into* Fedora a completely bogus source
*AND* public key that always verifies correctly ?

Simo.
