I don't know.  It is not more secure but more convenient in case the
card breaks.  Well, a very few folks do have a dedicated laptop used
only for the secret primary key - in that case it might be more
secure.

Frankly, I don't know this howto and it unfortunate that we have two
different howtos.


Salam-Shalom,
