This is a breaking change: the gpg config settings, variables, and related cli commands are all removed. Fixes: rust-lang#3250 by removing our GPG support. - the foundation's new security engineer Walter Pearce is working on a new system, not based around GPG, for validation of distributions - we don't rely on the signatures today - these warnings are not errors by default - sustained ignored, unfixable signature errors will teach folk to ignore them, which is harmful to everyone - we could do streaming unpacking (with some changes) if we trust the transport rather than the current monolithic signature validation, which could improve performance Downloads still have a checksum which is verified.
