Ard seems to be using almost random signing of his tags. Last time it
was signed with subkey 9CD2A0DA, this time it's subkey FBD9627C.

I see that it's all the same primary key, and I'm pretty sure it's
simply because the 9CD2A0DA subkey is about to expire, but these
things take me by surprise when I suddenly see a new key like that.

It would be good to get a heads-up, because otherwise I end up
spending time looking at why I suddenly see a new key...

This is not a problem, it's just a note for people to try to avoid
surprising me..
