Comment(by erinn):

 It's been a while since I set it up, but I think the original idea was
 that people could import the key and then install the rpm, individually,
 if they didn't want to use the repo key for whatever reason. An argument
 could be made for that being either intuitive or counterintuitive, and I
 don't really have any insight into how normal rpm users operate, beyond
 knowing that they generally let the distro verify signatures.

 I don't think we're asking for people to get confused, and there are
 instructions on the verifying-signatures page for how to manually verify
 the packages if you really want to do it that way. But if you have a less
 confusing solution, let me know.
