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.
