Subject: Backing up the PGP master key

Konstantin, writing to you based on 'git blame' :-)

The maintainer guide recommends using paperkey for the PGP master key,
which is a prefectly sane method.

I was just wondering that isn't a backup to a USB stick a reasonable
option? E.g. get a few USB sticks (new, unweared), store your master key
to each of them and put to safe.
