Hi August,

On 2020-01-04 00:45:00, you wrote to me:

It's not necessary to "scrap" a key, just because the "uid" (user ID) is no
longer relevant.

You can add additional (new) uid's, you can delete uid's (but that won't
remove them from keys on keyservers), and you can revoke uid's.

For instance my 9611AC4F key (which is on the keyservers), has 3 active uid's
(with current email addresses), and 3 revoked uid's (with email address I no
longer use)...

Bye, Wilfred.
