I'm not sure how the proposed multi-level system is an improvement over
an offline primary key.  It's certainly more complicated, but complexity
is a bug, not a feature.  can you explain why you think it's better?

with an offline primary key, you only put subkeys on any device that's
used regularly.

That said, even offline primary keys aren't super easy-to-use at the
moment, more work could be done to streamline that use case.

are you asking about secret key sharing (between devices controlled by
the same person) or public key distribution?
