A concrete case:

I use Fedora, a third-party repository, and a private repository for my 
systems. The private repository is unsigned - it's just created via 
createrepo, and contains RPMs I've built with mock locally.

What do I need to do if this feature is accepted, in order to not see any 
impact? If I need to change any of the repositories I use and trust, can you 
point me to step-by-step instructions I need to follow?
