We could discuss the ideas of an armchair developer, release/package
builder and infrastructure maintainer ;-)

We have some developers in the group who are more than capable of
setting up a singing and key manangement system. We do not need advice
on how to do that. 

But we choose not to do it, beacuse the (perceived) benefits are not
great enough compared to the amount of work involved. 

If you do not trust getting binaries or source over the net, buy a CD.
