I am sorry you and those developers who have emailed me privately to complain feel like I am engaging in some form of punishment or naming and shaming. I deliberately did not include the list of affected contributors in my August mail, despite being asked to be several people. At this point I'm now trying to make sure that absolutely no one can claim that they were not warned about the forthcoming key removals; I have also been criticised for having too soft an approach up to this point, such that several people have felt that the first warning they had that the project was phasing out shorter key lengths was the August mail. To reinforce Enrico's mail I'm well aware that there are people on the list who are valiantly trying to get the signatures they need on new keys, and have had legitimate issues with getting them. I ask the project to help them where possible. J. -- 101 things you can't have too much of : 19 - A Good Thing.
