I'm aware of this, but still don't see it as a reason to unnecessarily duplicate process.

Seems the "internal GPL-hate" has softened even more than I was aware. The history for GPG was spotty, but my request was automatically approved, so I guess the line has been moved far enough away that I've lost that excuse :)
