Cool, does that mean that we'll be providing a PGP'd MD5 checksum of
an entire checked out FreeBSD distribution tree (or all the relevant
subportions thereof) for someone to use in verifying the integrity of
a FreeBSD system soon?  It's been an oft-requested feature, and you've
just put the groundwork in place for making it really easy to do.
For someone with the time. :)
