Sorry, but these clarifications only make it even clearer to me that I do 
not want this.

The size measurements show that the RPMDB increases by 20%, which is a lot. 
Also, the unit "bytes" in that sentence seems to be wrong, because the next 
sentence speaks of a 5 MB increase.

And this "feature":

| Having all files signed with Fedora keys would enable integration with for
| example [https://keylime.dev/], which is a CNCF project that implements
| remote system attestation, based on which a system may or may not get
| access to secrets and other consequences.

claims that those signatures can be used by a remote system to enforce an 
unmodified Fedora, which is a blatant violation of GPLv3 requirements.
