It's already possible to verify an ISO image offline using the OpenPGP
signature.

We currently provide three techniques to verify an ISO image (browser
extension, OpenPGP signature, and BitTorrent download) and we believe
that adding a fourth one will not be worth it. It will come with added
complexity pushed to users who will have one more choice to understand
and make.
