I would be completely supportive of an Infra-managed private key for
signing releases.

My point is that our instructions to users don't really incorporoate
the notions of "keys", and (thus) provide near-zero utility. For such
a long thread, for such little gain... my thought was "toss the
concept. throw out the keys."

hehe. And my devil's advocate is: "keys provide no additional benefit
for end users. demonstrate otherwise."
