=======================

yes, but doing it this way means that my old and new key remain compatible
with each other... i can sign something with the new key, and it still
verifies with my old key: someone can encrypt to my old key, and i can
decrypt with my new key. this also means that anyone who "trusts" the old
key should "trust" the new key, since it incorporates the old key.

if someone doesn't know that the old key is revoked, everything still
works fine. if they notice the revocation, they might also notice the
revocation comment that directs people to the new key.
