Just to say: I'm about to issue a superseded revocation for the old key,
so if you still have 0x403043153903637F listed in your membership file
for me, please do switch it to record: 0x4D1E900E14C1CC04

pub   rsa4096/0x4D1E900E14C1CC04 2013-10-22 [SC]
      Key fingerprint = ACBB 4324 393A DE35 15DA  2DDA 4D1E 900E 14C1 CC04

Since the old key is about to be revoked, I'm only signing this email
with the newer key; the signature policy should provide assurance that
the holder of the old key asserts that the "new" key replaces it.

After almost three years and a Strong Set MSD of less than 5, I think
it's safe to switch, and more formally revoke the old key.
