You cannot retrospectively 'upgrade' your key, AIUI, at least.
So you will sadly lose all your signatures as you will need a new
key. Thankfully I created mine with a 4096 key length so I'm ok,
but I get impression many folks wont be.
Get your key created now, and at Apachecon we will have to have a
large key signing party. :)
Pity.
Also, there's the issue of being unable to read encrypted email I
receive by the old key. But I suppose that I can deal with that on a
case-by-case basis. And hardly anybody sends me encrypted email any
more anyways.
It doesn't mean you cant still keep your old key for this purpose.
Ok. Generating new key. I guess this is my chance to purge all of
those former employer email addresses from my key, too.
You can delete identities from your keys without having to re-
generate. Most folks forget, but meh.
Cheers,
Tony
