Well, I gave those KDE developers that I met a few times on fairs (where=20
we exchanged our fingerprints) marginal trust although I can't say that=20
I know any of them personally. Furthermore I would probably also give=20
other well known Free Software developers some trust if I should ever=20
personally exchange fingerprints with them. Of course one of them could=20
betray me but so could a co-worker or a school-mate. Only death is=20
certain.
