There's another use-case: Someone wants to verify the integrity of an
old email (in an archive) they've send. Even as we have the old keys
still in the cvs-attic, not everyone knows about it or has easy access
to it. If this needs to be in the handbook or not is somewhat an
orthogonal issue to this, but as we do not have another location...
maybe someone can change the doc-code to not display the keys for
alumni (or replace them with a link to an online-source) while we still
keep the keys around in the CVS tree?
Bye,
Alexander.
