Is there a way out if you remove the keyrings?

Should the package purge remove /var/lib/ceph/* (potential mon data, osd

I'm definitely for leaving mon/osd data in place.  Those files are
created at cluster creation time, not when the packages are installed.
They may have been created by a totally different installation of Ceph
than the packaged version.

What's worse is that you can't get the files back simply by reinstalling
the package.  With the way things currently are, a package purge will
effectively permanently destroy your cluster.  Purge should get rid of
configuration files, but I don't think it should destroy user data which
is what it effectively is doing now.
