What does this really achieve? Or require? Am I supposed to buy or |
| 6 |
hire a vault now? -- I'm assuming the word "safe" is missing from |
| 7 |
above sentence. |

Side observation: |

You can't check I have the revocation cert, let alone that you can |
| 11 |
check where it is stored, or if I lost it. |

Unless it is stored in a Gentoo owned vault or something, such that |
| 14 |
infra can invoke it on retirement scripts, this seems like unnecessary |
| 15 |
bureaucracy. |

Of course we want to encourage anyone to have a revocation cert, and to |
| 18 |
store it in a safe place somewhere. This is at best subject to means |
| 19 |
and opportunities of the person in question. In reality it is quite |
| 20 |
hard to store secrets securely, even more when they don't fit well in |
| 21 |
the human SSD. |
