It might also be "slightly annoying" to remove key material which is
also in use for other purposes :-). You remove an SSH key, and suddenly
an OpenPGP subkey is also missing...
But something more user friendly to match SSH fingerprint and keygrip
could be beneficial. I'm not sure what that would look like and neither
do I think it is high on the priority list.
For one thing, OpenSSH seems to prefer SHA256 SSH fingerprints over the
old MD5 ones now.
