This sounds great!

Yes, but these aren't accessible over TLS, nor GPG signed =(
Given Let's Encrypt is now a thing, is there any blocker for using TLS?

One thing that would be also nice (and partly orthogonal) is to offer
"tls-pinned" access, where a custom root CA cert is used, and client
systems can be configured to pin to this CA.  Something like
https://buildlogs-pin.centos.org

Still though, the CDN sounds nice.
