+well, imho even with this testing it's still possible, allthough likely rarer
+that the user would have to use these or any other manual procedures. even
+with updates.
+
+(unsigned rpms should be caught by the build process, even though it still
+sometimes fails for reasons unbeknownst)
+
+in any case, i don't think of this as supported and won't suggest backports to
+any user who doesn't have the necessary skills to fix it himself.
