If there is a signature, then if we're checking signatures, in my opinion we should check it - and fail if the signature can't be parsed, is revoked, we have a key and the signature doesn't match - or even if we run out of memory. The cases for which enforcement is required are when (a) there is no signature, (b) we don't support the algorithms used, or (c) we don't have a key. If we're going to completely discard the result, why do your patches even bother to check the signature at all?
