Just for some background for other readers, what we're trying to do here
is be able to daily or more frequent updates to the files, without a
person having to enter a passphrase every time something changes. So the
idea is to have short-term data that can be signed automatically by an
offline key that doesn't require a passphrase. Then, on a somewhat less
frequent basis, a human will enter a passphrase to allow automatic
signing for the next period.

I want to merge this after the next stable release, not before.
