Then there isn't any need to worry and everything is safe, right?

As long as the keys used to sign the tar balls arent't compromised, we shouldn't worry. They weren't, according to kernel.org admins. I don't know if Arch kernel maintainers check the signatures, but it is easy do to it now, if needed be. And makepkg from next pacman's release will have an option to check signatures automatically, easing the process even more. -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading.
