Just to clarify, I do see how the keychain is managed by a distribution 
as an important issue to be discussed.  However, it is also the most 
political issue in this package signing business and discussing it on 
this list just ends up derailing discussion on actual pacman 
development.  This is why it needs to be kept completely separate from 
discussions about implementing signature verification work in pacman.
