Hmmm... I see that the new 4096-bit super-duper key, besides its own (which
doesn't prove much), only bears the signatures of the now revoked -as
potentially compromised- old keys 0x375AD924 and 0xEEE8CFF3, plus 0x06757D2D
(which turns out to be a 1024-bit DSA key) and 0x50C0FEA7 (a lowly 2048-bit
RSA legacy key)...
Are you really our Lucky, or the NSA proving our worst fears founded? ;-)
