Hi Bernhard,
without doubts this is a valid point. I suspect that most, if not all
important keys, for me suffer from missing validation. The "web of
trust" is the weak point of signing. However, a download from a https
page + a key that perhaps isn't validated by a web of trust, in
combination with contact to upstream and/or distro communities, e.g. by
mailing lists, isn't that bad. It's not absolutely secure, but still ok,
assuming that the kernel is used e.g. for audio productions, that don't
require hardcore security.
Regards,
Ralf
