monotone is a distributed system, even when it comes to keys.
Voluntary and involuntary fuckups can't be prevented.  And when it
comes to keys, a fuckup has pretty darn big consequences, as have been
seen so far.

I won't deny that William's change is going to make a difference, but
I question if it will be *enough* of a difference.

Cheers,
