Yeah yeah, "we will fix the source", sorry that doesn't work on the Internet, thanks you, checkings must be done on receiving side too. You can only prevent problems for new packages build with checkings, there is just too many packages floating around which had no checkings. This also raises the value of the encoding of strings in rpm header since the conversion to XML forces some cleanup.
