FWIW, there are some out there who don't even think unsigned packages are a 
problem.  As an extreme example of this, recently I saw on LinuxToday where 
there was a thread in an archlinux list about signed packages; most of the devs 
didn't consider them a priority.  At all.

One reason arch won't be in production here any time soon.

Unless you know exactly what you are doing and the full ramifications of doing 
it you should never disable gpgcheck, since mirrors can be hacked.
