Description
Sample:
The second key has been superseded by the first one. I believe it is desirable to show a notice of revocation status for any keys affected.
In this particular case, the revocation certificate includes a comment pointing to the new key as the superseding one. This is a scenario where keeping the revoked key on Keybase, together with a way of viewing the reason and comment for revocation, might be useful for other users.
See also keybase/client#6151.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how user profiles display OpenPGP keys and the related discussion in keybase/client#6151. Done means revoked and valid keys are distinguishable, with the revocation reason and comment—including a superseding key when present—available to users.
