We should also consider those running RPM based servers (Redhat,
CentOS, etc). While I run a Debian based distro, I can get up an RPM
package in a few days. I'll start on it tomorrow.

I think the old key expiration timetable might be a bit short. I don't
think a month is really enough to make sure everything is running
smoothly and work out all of the potential problems that might occur.
I think we should probably extend the key expiration date by an
additional month just to be safe so we don't lock anyone out.
