It is.

I don't want to revoke my old key right now. Instead I want to use more
and more the new one. If then the old key isn't used for some time (maybe
half a year or more), then it will be revoked.

My old key had an expriration date. I changed this some time ago, but
some keyservers couldn't handle that. So I get sometimes complaints that
my key is expired even though it isn't. I created a new key to stop those
bothering messages.

However I understand your other arguments and will better till next
signing parties ...
