MJG was saying that (some?) vendors were willing/interested to install
a Fedora/Redhat key but that the belief was that leveraging the MSFT
process a better outcome due to the cost of running an equivalent
service to MSFT's.

How can we know our strength if we do not try?
Pre-installing another key is trivial and painless for them, so sure, it
doesn't cost them anything to say 'yes' when we float the idea.
Creating and administering a root key, though, is a substantial
undertaking that no-one's particularly keen to do.
