Benson, the signing itself doesn't take that long, even for projects like
OpenJPA which needs about 1 hour for the whole build. So I'm with Brian that
it's better to spend 1 minute for the code signing in the prepare phase than
having to revert tags, branches, rebuild all from scratch again, etc which in
case of OpenJPA would cost you almost half a day.
There are a few pro and con arguments here, but 'fail fast' is imo the way to
go here.
