OpenPGP allows you to specify why youhave revoked a key using one of
the following list:
0x00 - No reason specified (key revocations or cert revocations)
0x01 - Key is superceded (key revocations)
0x02 - Key material has been compromised (key revocations)
0x03 - Key is no longer used (key revocations)
0x20 - User id information is no longer valid (cert revocations)
(RFC 2440 p.31 ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2440.txt)
So, do we use 0x00 to avoid "tipping off", 0x02, or create a new category:
0x04 - Key has been grabbed by UK government
