Why 10.1-BETA3 announcement signed with not usual PGP key?

gpgv: Signature made Sun Sep 28 11:51:18 2014 EDT using RSA key ID 478FE293
gpgv: Can't check signature: No public key

Compare 10.1-BETA2 announce:

gpgv: Signature made Sun Sep 21 13:06:56 2014 EDT using RSA key ID AF8B5ED0
gpgv: using subkey AF8B5ED0 instead of primary key A0B946A3
gpgv: Good signature from "Glen Barber <gjb at FreeBSD.org>"
gpgv:                 aka "Glen Barber <glen.j.barber at gmail.com>"
gpgv:                 aka "Glen Barber <gjb at glenbarber.us>"
gpgv: textmode signature, digest algorithm SHA256

This key new last year/expire 2018, so very unexpected.

Shocking it is: some people actually check this, not like
http://xkcd.com/1181/ , you know. ;-)

Seriously, SHA256 checksum on ftp mirror not so useful.  PGP signed mail
with checksum, who could guess, we actually use this and its not wasted
efforts!

Thanks.
