I’m not against cryptographically signed packages on hackage. In fact, I would whole-heatedly appreciate it, as it would make my work as a package maintainer easier. I was taking the opportunity to point out an advantage of established package management systems, to shamelessly advertise my work there, as not everyone sees distro-packaged libraries as a useful thing.
