I think your conclusion there is a thing where reasonable
people can disagree as to possible outcomes.

I don't think it's too late if there is some sufficient new
benefit accruing to a private key publisher. And that may be
the case as already discussed.

I don't think it's too little either - since everything else
in a leaked mail or message store is freely malleable, access
to the relevant private key is arguably not too little.

There's still plenty of possibility for this not getting
used, but I think it worth a bit of effort to try find
that out. (And, I admit, part of me likes the idea of
publishing private keys for virtuous reasons:-)
