Such generic statements are extremely stupid!  If you really needed to sign
something _automatically_ and have a machine that is not accessible by other
persons then it makes perfectly sense to use unencrypted keys.

This is a solution if typing the passphrase once is an option but not if
manual interaction is not an option.

So if you want to answer such questions in a serious way then first ask what
other people really want to do and don't bash other solutions just because you
_think_ that what someone else is doing is stupid without actually discussing
it.
