RE: Errata already

["Post, Mark K" <mark post eds com>]

One thing I noticed is that none of the updated packages are GPG signed.
This is something of an irritant, as well as a security concern.
Particularly since the update agent went to the trouble of going through the
process of installing the Red Hat public key in my GPG keyring.

Is this SOP for Beta testing?  Or was this an oversight?

Also keep in mind that we do quite a bit of testing on the ISO images which
are released as betas (and even more testing on the images which are
released as final masters.)  So, those the code which was released as Beta
1 was actually frozen about a week before it was released.  You're looking
at two weeks of updates there.
