Comment (by arma):

 Answer: the legacy key thing makes you *sign* with your legacy key, but
 you vote with only one key, your main one. So if nobody else thinks that's
 a legit key, then they ignore your vote, so the consensus that you sign
 (with both keys) is the wrong one.

 So yes, we need to do a coordinated shift of a high enough threshold of
 the authorities that we'll get a consensus afterwards too.
