Because it really doesn't offer much protection.  All it really says is
"this fell out of koji", which there is /some/ level of comfort about

More scary to me is that with the signing server going to be so fresh I
just don't want to hook an automated process up to it, one that could
potentially be exploited to gain access to more important keys.
It's the paranoid in me.
