I see no point, if someone was trying to spoof this announcement
they may already have the iana key

I believe there is an exploit for that version,
the other common client regularly has similar problems

I wonder if people use such signing, usually out of band
verification is easier and safer.

I'd just check the web site or directly if it was important to know
