I am using offline key parts for a long time and iirc, I even
implemeented that.

With 2.1 it is even much easier - there is no more secring.gpg.  All
secret keys are stored as separate files in .gnupg/private-key-v1.d.  If
you want to take a key offline, you only need to remove that.  It is way
easier than what we have now.
