I.e. the fact that we probably won't need to worry about whether an archive provides signatures. Of course, we'll still need to worry about whether or not the user's install has the tools needed to check signatures. Of course we'll probably want to output a warning message if we can't check signatures for lack of local tools, so the user is aware of that fact. But there should be no prompts nor error messages.
