Comment (by ausil):

 It is not blocked only on our policy of not doing detatched signatures.
 There is a couple of other issues besides detached signatures.

 We do not sign rawhide at all. signing the tree adds a manual step at the
 end of every updates and branched compose as someone would have to go and
 manually sign the tree.

 Ideally we would have metalink support and be able to use the mirrors
 which would mittigate the need to sign the tree at all.  With metalink
 support besides being able to leverage the mirrors we would gain the
 support of having the metalink provide via https a sha256 or higher
 checksum of the tree. which can be used to verify the integrity of the
 tree.
