Bearing in mind that the current proposal is intended to perpetuate a 
well-established use model so as to avoid having to re-tool, I don’t think this 
is a real concern. In practice I expect that the number of keys used in such a 
system will be small because the operational burden of making it large will be 
enough to motivate re-tooling. 

So in practice I would expect a client to be able to cache enough keys to 
notice this attack, if the user were motivated, or the client vendor considered 
this to be a credible threat worth addressing.
