Sure, because you brought up issues with unrelated packages, like
stable/unstable keywords, which aren't actually problems.

You probably should have led with that.  Seems like an actual issue.
Or at least lead with "I have this problem - what should I do?" and
not basically starting out by accusing everybody of not caring about
security.

Really, though, an expired key fails safe - it blocks updates and
doesn't cause you to install insecure ones.  That is certainly how I'd
prefer that it behaves.  Sure, it would be better if keys were updated
before they expire, but I tend to doubt that your email is going to do
much to fix that.

I don't use webrsync which is probably why I didn't personally notice
this issue - I'm guessing it uses a different key than git but I
haven't checked.
