Thanks for that reference.  It seems to have been acted on today.
Coincidence?

I understand it and I think that it is more-or-less reasonable.

| The warning about
| improperly formatted lines is recent. I filed
| https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733561 against this bug it was
| closed as NOTABUG due to concerns that blocking that warning could cause
| security issues.

Thanks for that reference too.

I've added to that closed bug report.  I've added a new script to run
gpg and sha256sum in such a way that the user only needs to type one
command and the spurious diagnostics are not emitted.

I hope something is done because this is perhaps a user's first
experience with Fedora.  Why make it needlessly complex, confusing,
and unpleasant?  Heck, even exprienced users don't need the problems.
