It was explicitly added I believe due to signing around licenses

I already did this during the meeting.

@pbrobinson do you have any more info on that? Or perhaps @ausil could chime in?

I don't see how licenses affect it... but I could be missing some history.

I think it was @spot that had it added to the signing channel, it wasn't that long ago.

It was added by @ausil in 2013. (In the puppet repo no less :)

add fedora-release to the secure-boot channel

It's a pity we have not put the reasoning to the commit message.

From irc:

[14:19:00] <dgilmore> We never actually implemented the thing we were going to do that required the packages be in secure-boot
[14:19:31] <cverna> oh one quick thing, review-stats now runs in openshift and everything seems to work well :)
[14:19:52] <dgilmore> we were going to tie the release keys to the secure boot key
[14:19:59] <dgilmore> for end to end verification
[14:20:27] <nirik> dgilmore: ah ha. I knew there was some further reason
[14:20:51] <nirik> we can add em back if we ever do that

Closing this ticket for now and we can add them back to secure-boot when we decide to work on it.

Just to confirm: is it possible for any proven packager to build and tag fedora-release now?
