True.  However, I don't see that it is Git's place to dictate policy.  If a 
company wants to use Git and wants to use it in an oppressive and inefficient 
manner, while alienating their developers, who are we to stand in their way?

Again true.  What has that to do with Git though?  Why shouldn't Git have 
features that let people with different methods of development from you use 
it?  It is certainly true that signed commits /is/ a feature.  And it's a 
feature that some people might want.  If there isn't a technical argument 
against it, what does it matter?

(Note: it doesn't matter enough to me that I would put the time in, I'm 
arguing in the abstract really - should features be kept out because they 
allow a development method we would find distasteful?)
