7 there is still a very different key management issue discussed. If a
8 developers credentials are removed from Gentoo LDAP for some reason it
9 will be stopped from pushing new commits immediately, but the third
10 party verification can be valid up until that point and after since the
11 developer might not have published a revocation certificate.

13 the git sync method will need a way to distinguish this for end-users,
14 but the proper rsync synchronization will be able to trust the data at
15 the point we say it is OK.
