This is a pretty minor issue but I'm wondering which makes more sense and
why:

Have one assembly key file per assembly or re-use the same key file for
every assembly in the application?

Does it really matter and if so, why?

Typically one for every assembly produced by your company. What would
be the point of using multiple keys?
