Now the man wants *usable* security!

;-) you are correct. Although if you release a lot of updates in a short time period, you could choose not to swap the pubkey... Since the leak happens by giving time to attack the key. That would let you skip ahead to the last update before changing the key.

Of course, that requires you knowing in advance you will release a lot if updates, or setting a fixed policy ("we will change the key monthly").

Hum.

One more example of why hardened security does not happen by default. It really stands in the way.
