28 That *is* the wording.

33 I originally wanted to specify one month but k_f insisted on something
34 shorter. 2 weeks were the compromise we agreed on. That said, I'd say
35 weekly 'gpg --refresh' is what we should recommend as the bare minimum.
36
37 That said, the point of two weeks is mostly to give us time to remind
38 developers that their key is expiring and to give them time to actually
39 read their mail and do it before it actually expires.
