When replacing one uncompromised key with a newer (typically longer) one, using a transition period when both keys are trustworthy and participate in the web of trust uses trust transitivity to use links to the old key to trust signatures and links created by the new key. During a transition, both keys are trustworthy but you only use the newer one to sign documents and certify links in the web of trust.
