I don't see why that wouldn't be the best way. How many signatures would there be to check? A couple of thousands?

I do not know how firmware gets signed on PS3, but an alternative could be that all software already is signed with a second key. If so, having new firmware check for that key would close the hole. If they used the same broken algorithm, not for long, though.
