As this will surely find at least a few complainers for stable I will repeat it though: This breaks (obviously) compatibility with unsigned archives. Workaround for those buggers would be the flag from above. Haven't written patch/testcase yet though, as I should be in dreamland for a while now, so I could be horribly wrong about all this of course.
