There is no reason (beyond complexity, which is a reasonable concern) to
not support both Sigstore and Sigsum, I think.

Even adding support for SSHSIG would be reasonable, to have an
alternative to mess that PGP has become.

I think supporting multiple ways to verify Release files may actually be
useful -- I think it will be many years (if ever) Rust is as reliable on
as many archs as C or even Perl/Python is today.  We want some way to
verify Release files on archs that haven't drunk the Rust cool-aid.
