Oh, didn't know that. Do you think it's possible to store this state /
key versions without storing the identity parts? E.g. through keeping
only hashes of it?

Would be more complex than I anticipated and might not be possible at
all, but I'd prefer not having to operate an SKS instance next to the
hagrid one :)

Thanks,
