Not importing the development key by default is still a check against
accidentally getting development packages installed if your repository
information gets mixed up, or if a development package accidentally slips
into the main updates.
No. I think typing --enablerepo=development or manually editing as root the
fedora-development.repo file is a perfectly good safeguard against that. As for development packages accidentally slipping into main updates, I thought thats what updates-testing and bodhi were there to prevent (in part) along with common sense and basic intelligence.
