I do not think this is a good idea - imagine someone has generated
exactly the same key someone was using in the past, now they both
have the same private key. So the list of revoked keys is needed
to determine your new key was not used before. I wonder how
many keys are possible is it 2^N ? Is this number big enough if
someone decides to start continuously generate and register random keys ...
