11 They do. That is why we need the updates to happen early enough so that
12 the services can sync. It's not nice when Gentoo repository
13 distribution is stalled because a developer changed his key and not all
14 services have synced yet.

16 I've only recently hit the case when my important fix wasn't distributed
17 to users immediately (= more users hit severe breakage) because
18 a developer started using new key before all servers could sync it.
