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.
