#fedora-admin:
(17:40:55) mmcgrath: mpdehaan: well, couple of reasons.
(17:41:16) mmcgrath: mpdehaan: 1) we removed all the keys as an affective way 
of disabling access everywhere while we're working
(17:41:42) mmcgrath: and 2) we decided it wasn't a bad idea to have people fix 
it on their own, it helps with stuff like pruning, etc.
