Hmm, I was hoping for something more "open".  A concept that could be
implemented cooperatively.  Such a distribution service would primarily
need disk space and bandwidth - something places that already distribute
this software apparently have...  So it'd make sense to figure out a way
to implement this via existing resources (assuming cooperation).

So we come up with a server that suits everyone's needs, enroll all known
PGP signatures, keep it all up to date, and get participation from all
distribution sites...  Should be a piece of cake.  ;)
