Take a look at the release history for Tomcat. There have been many release
managers. We have decided to use separate release-based KEYS files to keep the
files more manageable. For example, it's easier to see if a key is in the file
when there aren't dozens of keys in it, especially if the same RM has used more
than one key through the years.
