Oh right.  Thanks for the reminder.  So if that's the key that signs
the CLA, what are the implications of changing your key entirely?  The
accounts systems seems to allows it (the key id box is editable), but
if the key associated with an account is changed will it affect the
ability of the system to verify that you have completed the CLA should
such a verification ever prove necessary?

The server specified is pgp.mit.edu, which is an old pksd server.  I
don't use that one directly at all anymore as the pksd servers are
crusty and outdated (and unmaintained for all practical purposes
AFAICT).  I believe they still have issues with newer openpgp features
like multiple subkeys and other things.  It'd seem better to use a
more robust server, or perhaps use the default from gnupg,
subkeys.pgp.net (a round robin of several SKS keyservers).  Not a high
priority thing though.

What it means to take rights seriously is that one will honor them
even when there is a significant social cost in doing so.
