My personal opinion about this or about using GitHub doesn't change
the fact that it's the official upstream recommendation.  The flags
aren't intended to be used by users, users have Manifests.  They are
helpful for developers to double-check that the artifacts aren't
compromised (or more likely, that "something went wrong").
