That's not the point. I'd hope he, or anyone else, would do that, sure. As
for backups, that's not the point either. How annoying is it to have to
restore everything from a backup? I just personally wouldn't use any
software that would do thing like that, under certain circumstances that
are probably unlikely enough to affect me ;)

Maybe. The obvious thing to do when a program discovers a dodgy keyfile is
to just shut down quietly. Anything else is just asking for trouble.
