You're right, sharing of master passwords is a bad idea.  But given
human nature, it happens, and a security system needs to take that
into account.  There are also a lot of other ways a master password
can be compromised and thus need rolling over, e.g. shoulder-surfing,
virus keyloggers, theft of PC where web browser "remembered" it, etc.

So... it would be a *big* plus to have a way to rollover the master
password without having to manually re-visit and re-password each
website.
