While you might store the revocation certificate (RC) on *a* key, I certainly
wouldn't store it on *the* key. If you lose the usb key with the gpg
keys, you do want to be able to revoke them, right?

Since the RCs are not something I need regularly, I put mine on a couple
of CDs, and printed a copy (worst case).
