Not immediately after generating a new GnuPG certificate. But it
probably still belongs under "some common best practices". A user
might find they have deleted the auto-generated revocation
certificate, or the disk where it is stored may have died. Or maybe a
user is revoking a key and wants to generate a revocation certificate
that gives a reason for the revocation.

Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle.
