Yeah, who needs backups of private keys anyways!
you have the same private key on more than one machine at a time,
you're Doing It Wrong.
That's kinda silly. I work on a desktop or on a laptop. When working on
my desktop, I really don't want to fire up my laptop just for the ssh
key. And adding two keys in all authorized_keys for this is kinda silly,
and does not add any security over the one copied key.
