Remember the last time an unsigned package wasn't challenged on 
updates-testing and then made it's way into updates-released? That caused 
some damage to the integrity of the system by its users. A mistake can 
and should be forgiven, but recurring mistakes and two postings now of 
the problem would be met harshly on the official updates list. And as 
others have stated,the correct solution is to fix the problem on RH's 
end, not ours.
