and it is exactly what I suggested at the FAD less than a month ago:
Yes. I guess I neglected to mention that in my reply, even though I thought
the same :).
1. autosign pkgs once built
Where are we with that? A number of the proposals from the FAD are sort of
stuck.
2. delta them against GA and last-update once signed
Perhaps we should run this past the Mikes to get some initial feedback.
