Not exactly "normal", but very much explainable.

A number of old revisions now have two sets of certs, one by
address@hidden (the certs you already had) and one by
address@hidden (the new certs). What happened is that someone
ran a seperate rosterify, probably due to having their own private
branches that were descended from net.venge.monotone, and then kept all
the certs this generated (ie, didn't pull and then delete their
duplicates before syncing). When they synced with off.net all the new
certs got sent, and now we all get them.
