Folks,

This has been discussed already. Are we going to benefit
from yet another round? Let's wait for reqs-00 and discuss
how it phrases things,

Thanks,

This message apparently contradicts itself.  There's no such
"MUST" in "I sign all", and it's perfectly okay if receivers
decide to reject unsigned "I sign all" mails.  If they decide
to accept it anyway it's most likely silently dropped later,
or bounced to innocent bystanders (1), and that would be bad.
