That's true. In particular, people had been asking that the MSI
installers are code-signed, which I now also do. I wouldn't like to keep
the private key for the PSF code signing certificate available to some
machine that is readily accessible from the internet - so at least that
part is manual, in the sense that I have to provide my password.
