That would make bug 998 even more urgent than it already is – especially if 
the updates repository were required, as that would change the upgrade from 
secure to insecure. Currently it is possible to upgrade by DVD in a secure 
way. It requires some manual checking but it can be done if you have the 
knowledge. If packages are downloaded during the upgrade, then the upgrade is 
insecure unless Anaconda learns to verify the signatures on the packages it 
downloads.
