I was recently discussing with pypi and core python developers, and it seems 
that their take is very different than ours.

It seems that pypi completely removed support for signed updates, and instead 
now verification happens if you upload from a github pipeline.

It has been suggested that I'm a bit paranoid for stating that putting my 
private key on a microsoft server renders the signature with that key 
completely meaningless.

I of course disagree, but the opinion of people in such key positions is 
easily valued more.

Perhaps we need an explicit policy in how to handle keys, since there are very 
different opinions about what it is ok to do with them.
