So nothing that can be done, as Nokia/M$ is not interested to invest even the smallest amount of money/work into that anymore. We might be thankful that the repo is still online

And afaik there is yet no key for Maemo repo, or (might check later)? But it could be a nice enhancement.
Has anyone mirrored that repo so that when it is taken offline we can have a Plan B to keep everything rolling? I understand that this would be illegal on paper, but I seriously doubt even Microsoft would give a crap about that. If that happens, then we can sign every package and avoid the warnings.

Seriously, Microsoft(*) wouldn't give a crap, would they? I think Microsoft only cares about money, and I fail to see how they would lose any by having someone providing an alternate mirror. I mean, it's not like they fscked up our favorite mobile systems company by sending a rotten trojan horse to pose as CEO and destroy the mobile handsets division, is it?

(*) Reportedly, Microsoft wanted to patent the logo "What's in your wallet?" at some point, but it was already taken by another company with similar goals.
