Hmm, the commit message could be interpreted as reverse logic, now
that I reread it.

What I meant was that the PGP keys don't make sense in a printed book.
No one will pull out their print edition to verify an email from a
FreeBSD developer. :)

In the online version hwoever, it does make sense to have them
(although we could debate having them on a separate webpage on
www.freebsd.org) in case someone needs to copy/paste/verify keys. Keys
are also easier to update online rather than release a new print
edition just to update the keys, right?

I hope that answers your question.
