I iwas going to take it, but then I noticed that it's an unsigned tag
from a random site.

Yeah, yeah, I have pulled such things in the past, but  I'm really
trying to convince people to use signed tags.

I prefer signed tags even on kernel.org, where I know the security is
tight. On other sites, I really want that warm fuzzy feeling of
knowing that yeah, you actually put that code there.
