Hi Jon,
I believe Jesse Keating handed out some at LinuxFest Northwest -- AFAIK they were simply bought off the shelf and created as needed from the livecd-iso-to-disk tool. You can find 2 GB keys (which can provide a runnable Live image plus at least 1 GB persistence overlay) pretty darn cheap these days. However, since they're still an order of magnitude more expensive than CD and DVD media, we haven't taken the plunge yet on mass-producing them for release.
Close to correct. I pre-generated them on the flight from BOS to SEA. Turns out you can do 50~ key generations on one flight on one laptop battery, but it got close (mostly due to some reboots to verify the keys and some kvm guest launches to do the same).
