How to do this in MAM archive, server-side?

If I lose a single device I have (or it gets broken, whatever), I lose
access to all my MAM messages, because I lose the key.

Another problem is UX: it's just terrible. Imagine an inexperienced
user who sees something like "OMEMO fingerprint", or "Clean
devices" (an example from Conversations). The first his question is "WTF
is this???". This is the same problem as with PKIX certificates,
like asking whether a user trusts a certificate or not: this just
doesn't work.
