Two things:

1) I understand and agree that a multiple-stage confirmation process
   is possible.  The argument against this is the disire to do 
   MD5 checksums against trusted read-only media.  I'm not saying
   I agree, just that this is the argument.

2) Ultimately, I've stopped caring about the ``issues'' surrounding
   rpm distribution of qmail.  In my mind, now, it's a matter of
   solving the problem and moving on.
