I should hope not. In my mind, just because something isn't on the exam, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be taught. I took a physics course in university with brutal weekly problem sets that seemed to be a 3 month build up to the punch line, "And none of that will be on the final exam." I'd really like to know why gnupg doesn't default to creating a revocation cert when generating a new private key, if there is no expiry date provided. There's a lot of orphaned keys out there.
