Please feel free to edit http://wiki.alu.org/Securing_ASDF :)  I don't
think I have time to work on this myself, but I'll happily ask other
people to work on it (hint, hint)!

I agree.  I'm not a huge fan of quick fixes, but the problem right now
with ASDF-INSTALL is that it really is very vunerable - all it takes
is a Wiki edit & punters to not check GPG (I personally never bothered
to check when I used ASDF, and now I don't use it).
The GPG check also needs to Just Work most of the time, and really
ought to only complain when something is broken.
