You don't get any of them with Fedora, that's primary difference I
see. During the new-key issue, many people claimed not to be on the
announce list for various reasons. All of these require you to check
regularly, or be aware that there is an ongoing issue.

But you are right, what we have now may be adequate. This is what I am
trying to to determine.
