Just because they are signed by someone, doesn't mean I want to trust them.
For example, I wouldn't be inclined to trust anything signed by Sony
unless I was really desparate. There interests are not aligned with mine.
I do trust packages signed by Fedora, even though there are risks associated
with doing that. But I think there interests are closely aligned with mine
and the risks are acceptible for what I get.
