5 Since there are multiple ebuild-providers (in contrast to a single one,
6 ala official RedHat RPMs), you would need to develop a PKI. Once you say
7 PKI, things get complicated quickly, and I do no think that the complexity
8 required satisfies a current need. Simple digests as they are currently
9 done is much better, IMO.
