And how did they verify that the person they checked the new key for, and
who asked to revoke their old signatures, was indeed the owner of the old
key?
I know I wouldn't remember everyone's face I have met for keysigning in
the past, or if I remembered the face I wouln't always be sure (s)he was
claiming to be the same person back then as (s)he is claiming to be now.
I equally wouldn't trust anyone else to do so.
