The unsigned FOSS binaries are sometimes problematic in a managed environment, where security policies restrict the use of unsigned binaries. And, in fact, the Windows and OS X platforms how heavily prefer signed binaries.
Are distributions with signed binaries available? (Perhaps through a donation?)

(I'll just point out that signed binaries could potentially be an issue on XP, perhaps Vista too.)

The binaries for Windows are signed, for OS X they are not. Getting signed OS X binaries is a PITA with many (intentional) hurdles by Apple. Last time I checked I Apple even mandated a registered business to get certificates. It seems it's just not worth it (on OS X).

Is there any way we could entice you to go through the hurdles? Unsigned binaries are an increasing problem in deployments.
