This sounds good.

I wonder how we would integrate this into =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D.  For
authentication to work at all the user would have to have *all* past
keys.  (I=E2=80=99m missing at least one of the keys, because only current =
keys
are contained in the keyring on Savannah.)

More things implemented in Scheme =E2=80=93 I love it! :)
