Well,

that being the case -

I don't think it breaks any existing configs. I can't think of a way that it might do so.

I do think that the patch adds a function that dropping an .asc file in /package_config/ doesn't, in that this patch adds the key into the nfsroot, not directly to the client. I originally offered the idea because in addition to my company's need for a way to do it, I had seen the question posed twice in the newsgroup archives. SO I guess that, yes, it is useful for someone else. :)
