Ok, I think I understand it now - This file contains both the release signing
key and the sa-update signing key. The former is new because we can no longer
use the old one. The latter is unchanged but has been cross-signed so that
going forward it will be compatible with newer versions of gpg, however the
older copy of the key is still usable. sa-update is packaged with this
sa-update key independent of this proposed change to this file so someone
installing 3.3.0 does not have to download this file after we commit this
change even if they run a current version of GPG. This proposed file will serve
the purposes of both the KEYS file and the sa-update-pubkey.txt file, but is
not the same as the http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY although it
would not hurt to use this file for that one, as that one only needs to have
the sa-update signing key in it. And finally, I think we do need to update
http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY with the cross-signed version of
the sa-update key, which cam be done by using this file for that too, or by
exporting just the sa-update key and uploading that, is that correct?

$ gpg -v GPG.KEY 
gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (SunOS)

As compared to the portion of gpg -v output from this file:
