I just noticed that the strong set facts were created with the SHA1
stuff that is still in the pgpkeys repo. With these dropped the
statistic looks as follows:

 - 410 certs are not reachable from Linus's cert
 - 148 certs are not reachable from Greg
 - strong set size: 152
 - average distance: 4.07
 - maximal distance: 12
 - Best connected certificate is Greg's 38DBBDC86092693E which can reach
   the other certs with an average of 3.08 steps.

So hopefully the keysigning improves the situation ...

Best regards
Uwe
