It's already *present* in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg, same as every Fedora key. As
for why it's not imported...

That is a really poor argument. Apart from the fact I despise cut-and-paste links to arguments not written with the current issue specifically in mind, saying that a key should not be imported because you're not going to need it? Take that one to its logical conclusion and we might as well close the source and sit back because we're just dumb users who need to be dictated what is and is not available.

To prevent accidental testing/unstable/rawhide/development packages you need to add a flag in yum. This is enough to discourage users from borking their system. Not importing the key - that's just annoying and another hurdle to overcome. Especially when its available. This should be changed as Jesse has indicated it might well be.

Cheers
Chris
