Hey,

as I wrote in the mail from Sun Dec 7 22:38:03 CET 2014: I know I could just set a new expiration date but most times it's recommended to use a key for two years at the longest. So if I start counting I end up like this: One subkey for authentication, one for signing and one for encryption. This makes three new keys every two years...

I really don't understand why everyone has only so few subkeys...

Best regards
