What happens if a trusted developer's key becomes compromised
(e.g. laptop stolen) or the developer becomes untrustworthy
(e.g. fired)?

Can you somehow say that old signatures are still valid, but new ones
aren't?

Hmm. Need to think about this more.

Having every certificate contain a time and date stamp would be a good
start - but then you have to trust the computer clock that creates
every signature.
