To import the full set of trusted release keys (including subkeys used to sign releases):

I think the current test has a bit too much editorialization. I think suggested text above accomplishes the intention while keeping things succinct.

LMK if you have alternative suggestions

To import the full set of trusted release keys (including subkeys used to sign releases):

IMHO, there is a need to mention something like "nuance"s or "pitfall"s, to make sure that users get an idea that if they choose to not import all the keys following (assuming #32654 is not going to land), they might (well) run into something they aren't expecting. My motivation was to prevent confusion & misuse of time (which happened to me).
So between this suggestion & the current version, i'd prefer the current version (because it's more informative, etc.).

P.S. It seems there is an agreement on a need for change, & hopefully there will be an agreement on the wording w/o spending too much time on it. For me, the current wording committed is better that the status quo.

I stand by my original review. I think the current text is too editorialized and prefer the proposed text I suggested. I'm open to reviewing alternative suggestions
