Wouldn't this affect signatures the key/uid in question has received?
I don't have the time to test it right now, but I believe so. Given
that I'm going to hunt some sig3s down next weekend I'd better not
test it with my main keys, eh ;-)

Anyway, if you already temper with UIDs, just add a new one (of
whatever content) and fill the comment field according to your needs.
This won't affect the other UIDs' signatures.
