(#10858054)
An implementation that hides key management from the user (or abstracts it in someway—I guess you still do want longterm, but revokable, key use) could be nice, but then you get closer and closer to mimicking what OTR does. That being said, hard to complain that such a thing exists as an option for those that want it (especially when those seeking it might come across the pre-existing, problematic standard).
It might work for tech savvy users but frankly I don't think most people have it in them to correctly and securely manage the lifecycle (creation, access, storage, usage) of a key.
