Just to forestall any future claims along the lines of "Look, it wasn't the
NSA's key after all. MSFT just released a module signed with NSAKEY", I
fully expect Microsoft to release data signed with the NSAKEY.
Chances are the key and/or a signed module is on the way to Redmond, if it
hasn't already arrived.
MSFT/NSA know they'll have to produce such a module sooner or later, hence
they will.
All of this is probably obvious to any long-time subscriber to this list,
but I figured it can't hurt to put this prediction out before the event.
