Nevertheless one would also need all the packages that did not receive an 
update yet signed with the new key to purge the old key from the rpm database 
without loss of functionality. Iirc, a yum update for F8 pulled in a package 
from Everything that did receive an update during the F8 lifecycle. To get 
this installed, one still needed the old public key in the rpm database, which 
renders the switch to the new key useless.
