Ha. No. It's for a variety of reasons: * Various groups that interact with the packages do not want to have to code in exceptions or treat some things differently. (QA, CI, package tools). * Signing packages is a clear way to indicate where they are from. (look at the 'keychecker' package. If you see a foo-1.0-1.fc29.x86_64.rpm package you can check it's signature and see that it came from rawhide or f29 or no where known, etc. * If you use metalinks, rpm signatures are just gravy on top, in the end you are still just trusing SSL CA's. * Making sure everything is signed in rawhide allows us to test/develop tooling that operates on composes instead of having to test those in stable release branches. There's likely other things too... kevin
