I am disappointed that you feel the need to use a strawman argument.
A simple “this is not in our threat model” would have been enough. Now
you've succeeded in pushing me away.

I have parcimonie installed on several computers. I just had to run `apt
install parcimonie` and that was it. Then I never had to think about it.
Ever. It works in the background, silently refreshing keys over time. I
believe it's even less cognitive load that having a pop-up that ask you
to refresh your keyring.

Anyway, farewell.
