1. A new user contacted me via email to point out there was no FAQ
entry about whether there's anything to be done about a lost
passphrase. I added a FAQ entry for this, with text that basically
amounted to "if you truly can't remember your passphrase then we
can't help you, revoke your certificate with a pre-made revocation
certificate and start anew." If anyone has better suggestions (that
don't amount to "well, have you tried all permutations of what you
think the passphrase was?"), please let me know. :)
2. GNU contacted me via email asking for a FAQ entry about how to use
GnuPG to verify downloaded software. This was present in a prior
iteration of the FAQ but not this re-written one, so I figured it
was an unobjectionable addition.
I would normally present things on the list before pushing to Git, but
GNU's keen on a fast turnaround on #2. If you're interested in the FAQ,
give it a day or so for the HTML version of it to get generated and
check out the new entries.
