Thanks for noticing this and bringing it up. One might say that since you are the first to notice and report this, almost a month after it expired, perhaps we should abandon PGP as a communication mechanism? Maybe we should ask the RIPE NCC to provide a more modern secure channel to communicate with them, such as Signal or some other open source encryption technology? Cheers, -- Shane
