[Discuss] Signing update -- license^W key revoked



tl;dr -- don't bother trying to sign mine !

I was informed my  key 4096 RSA 41936952 (090F 3675 F519 C3D3 A5D8  E763
9CD4 CB6D 4193 6952)
shows as REVOKED on the keyserver.
(Our sign-up PHP should filter out revoked and expired keys !!?)

Oddly, i was able to push change of expiration date anyway ... but if i
pull it back, i now see it revoked too.
Interesting.  I don't recall doing that ...  and I got a Bot reminder it
was expiring last week!
Did i do it by accident, trying to follow a best-practice cookbook to make
an emergency revoke cert and instead sending one?
IDK.
I didn't think i was affected by the Debian weak primes but maybe that key
was, and the gray-hats popped it for safety.

Well, at least it's reassurance that Revoked keys actually will not be
used, if one checks them often !
