[Monotone-devel] Key identities...

[Richard Levitte]

Hey,

I just saw that another case when someone created two keys with the
same key id on the IRC log.  While those mistakes are a bit
frustrating in themselves, what's even more frustrating is that the
signatures from one of the identically identified keys will be
invalid, even though the key itself really is OK.

So, I'm wondering, is there any reason, except for the database
migration that will follow and the fact that *someone* will have to do
the job, that stops us from switching to identifying keys by
fingerprint rather than name, at least internally?

Cheers,
Richard
