-New GPG key for Mike Perry
---------------------------
-
-After seven years, and an apparent threat of drastic action from Isis
-Lovecruft [XXX], Mike Perry created and published his new GPG public
-key [XXX], beefing up its security considerably in the process — from 1024
-bits to an imposing 8192 bits. Mike wrote that “this new key will be used
-to sign email from me going forward, and will be used to sign software
-releases until such time as I get around to creating a second set of keys
-on a hardware token for that purpose.” He added that the old key will not
-immediately be revoked, as “my plan is to cross-certify these two sets of
-new keys, and also sign both with my old key.”
