Is there any other node in STX? I am not aware of any and would be
reluctant to add yet another platform requirement to this build
system.  I know I'd be reluctant to install node on my laptop just to
run this... it's bad enough the python bits I have to go through to
install OpenStackClient and I wrote the dang thing.

Validating signed packages is an absolute requirement.

Posting a review is the right way to share something to get feedback
on it.  Make it clear in the commit message that is your intention,
optionally even set workflow -1 to prevent it from being merged
although sometimes people don't even look at those...
