This is an improvement over the current state, but (based on the
description here and a brief look at the discussion in the ticket),
it seems like valid-but-obsolete keys will not be removed. I think
that they definitely should, as soon as the last package using them
is removed.

On one of my systems:

I'd like to see behaviour where keys for EOL releases are removed as
soon as possible. I.e. if I have upgraded to F42, but still have a
package from F39, then keep the key for F39 so that rpm doesn't
faceplant. But as soon as I remove the last package signed with that
key, remove the key automatically. Does the proposed plugin implement
something like this, and if not, would it be possible?

> Note that not all keys have a defined end of validity date.

Yeah. And they really shouldn't, because the packages that were once
signed remain valid with no defined EOL.

Do our package signing keys have end date?
