As stated in the GLEP, gpg is outside the scope of this. As for the
questions, per entry sigs would invert one of the main goals (size
reduction). And so far I haven't seen any sufficient answer to
questions I raised on -core and -portage-dev regarding the
transaction/stacked/fragmented/whatever-you-want-to-call-it Manifest
signing proposed by Robin, so I'm still quite against it.

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
