+# You may occasionally need to update the pinned key bundle below. To verify
+# "old block vs new block" is only a subkey update:
+# 1) Make an isolated keyring: `export GNUPGHOME="$(mktemp -d)"`.
+# 2) Save this embedded key block into a file named `old`
+# 3) Run `gpg --show-keys --with-fingerprint old` and note the
+#    fingerprint under `pub`.
+# 4) `curl -fsSL https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub -o new`,
+#    then `gpg --show-keys --with-fingerprint --with-subkey-fingerprint new`.
+#    Confirm the same `pub` fingerprint.
+# 5) Import the old keyblock with `gpg --import old`.
+# 6) `gpg --import new` and expect only new subkeys to be added.
+# 7) With this confirmed, update the embedded key block with the contents
+#    of `new`.
