Is there a reason that we can't import the fedora projects GPG key with
by default on initial install? I realize the others should be added but
the system is as safe as the original install image anyways no? It would
save a lot of people (everyone) a little trouble and a few people (new
users) a lot of trouble.

They can learn to import a key if they need to add a new repo.

Perhaps im missing a security issue here though.
