  My point is about all the messages we have seen here, saying "I forgot
my passphrase, how can I recover my secret key?". Of course in "normal"
circumstances people should be able to decrypt the data, but it is not
unusual to hear about somebody who forgot the passphrase or lost the
secret key (that's the reason why usually people recommends revocation
certificates at the time of the key creation).
