This feature is not Unix related. It is necessity for all platforms.

You are responsible for your own compilation since this reflects _your_
knowledge about compiling and sharing habits, _your_ intentions about
influencing other environments (including viruses), configuration of _your_
system. What's wrong with signing your version for these reasons? Imagine, You
will give your (working for You) binaries to somebody and it will not work
there. Who should be first informed - overloaded team or the one who made
binaries ?
