the source code still contains the key[1] while the site seems to not have any link to make it accessible publicly.
maybe bitcoin.org needs a "historical" page that can include this key alongside other historical facts and clarify that this key was created 12 years ago and may not be safe anymore. although i don't think there is anything insecure about a 1024-bit DSA key.

Exactly.
Things of that nature is if historic value and should be kind of immutable and transparent. Couple posters above made some interesting points why it's good to remove the keys... I think people should still be able to see the archive records of the changes though.



The very same PGP Key is also located on the Web Archive page for bitcoin.org :

- https://web.archive.org/web/20090303195936/http://bitcoin.org/
Anybody who loves bitcoin should be thrilled to read the above archive page. The very first content that was put into http://bitcoin.org by satoshi.

Just read archived page. It's actually still really nice and solid.
