That doesn't sound empirical. According to flyspray votes (the only
empirical evidence we have), signed packages are #1:

I agree it's requested a lot, but no more than, say, sqlite backends
and the like.

Still, like Dan, I'm neutral. I don't care. But what I *do* care about
is json/xml parsing integration into pacman. I'm just going to say
"no" on that.
