It turns out that we're ahead of schedule in re-signing. Due to bodhi
limitations we needed to resign all updates before pushing any new
updates, and that is done now. I have to check with Jesse but I suspect
resigning of Everything should be done early during this upcoming week.
(It might even be close to done now, I dunno.)

The re-signing of Everything however is not blocking implementation of
the first stages of the plan - which includes updates going out.
Anyhow, updates should begin flowing soon, and shortly thereafter the
old key is removed. Oh, did you actually test rpm -e during %post?
According to skvidal it doesn't work because it locks the transaction.
Jeremy thinks the only assured way we can remove the old key is with a
hardcoded hack in rpm that will be removed in F10 rpm.
I tested rpm -e during %post on two f9 systems, It locked the rpmdb
hard.
