It's a little tricky to tell because the email that Norbert was replying
to was originally sent off-list, but I _think_ that the original
suggestion was for TL to move away from GPG for verifying packages.

Then from what I can tell, everyone agrees that there are other tools
that can handle creating/verifying signatures, but people disagree on
whether these alternate tools can appropriately handle key distribution.

Thanks,
