Considering the reason behind *this* activity (potential security), I
think it's highly inappropriate to condition newbies into just saying
yes.  But I see that sort of advice all the time(*).  They may have more
the original repos, too.

If one's going to say, "answer yes" to something, some should give much
more information about what you should expect to say yes to (e.g. names
of the keys, in this circumstance).  Not just *some* keys.

* Some commonly seen simplistic bad advice:
   yum clean all
   yum -y update
   rm'ing the RPM database

Potentially destructive advice *needs* to give adequate information, and
warnings.  And brute force solutions shouldn't be offered as the first
action.
