The system doesn't allow one to simply delete the recorded RSA key.  It
seems overkill to inactivate the account when simply deleting all old
RSA public keys is sufficient.

I do change my RSA keys once per year and never allow the private key
off the system.  It is a real pain to update all the affected systems
whenever I change keys.  I'm not going to be doing it again for 8 more
months.
