For each release Fedora use new GPG key:
https://fedoraproject.org/nb/keys
And they are required for upgrade to Fedora n+1
So they have to be part of upgrade tools.
But this keys are created only short time before release of Fedora n+1.
Which imply that upgrade tools needs to be (re)build short time before
release of Fedora as well.
This is suboptimal.
I would like to suggest that GPG keys for Fedora n+1 are created just
after release of Fedora n. Or at least when Fedora n+1 is git branched.
This will give authors of upgrade tools more time for development and code
stabilization even when the packages are not yet signed in early phase of
Fedora.
