Thanks that is helpful. Ill see how upstream goes with this. Its not much of an
issue on Linux I assume, where a revoked key would mean merely a libcmis
update. Other platforms (OS X, Windows), where LibreOffice is essentially a
distro on its own it might make things more tricky: You dont want force a full
LibreOffice update, just because a key was abused and revoked.

Best,

Bjoern
