I agree that the only time skipping the check is a good idea is if
you've done the research to make sure that it's a known problem and the
package is OK. In this case, I know that there's an ongoing issue with
rpmfusion, and can recommend it with confidence if (and only if) the
package in question is from rpmfusion. I don't recommend turning it off
for your complete update/upgrade for obvious reasons.

Agreed.

In this case, I'd not noted that it was an F17 package and was just
thinking about the gpg issue. Thanx for catching that.
