I fail to see how that's even possible in a distributed environment. The
only thing one single party can do is distrust a key. There's no way to
make sure the other party "destroys" its key - and won't have a backup
somewhere.

Just because you are using monotone another way than intended (same key
id for different keys) doesn't mean it's harmful for all others as well,
as you make it sound.
