Description
What's the best way to preserve a device's name after upgrading it to a new distro version?
I'm not certain if this is addressed in #17506 - it wasn't clear to me, anyway, and I couldn't find anything addressing this on the main keybase.io site.
Also, I'm assuming there's no way to "un-revoke" a device after revoking its key, but if I'm wrong, can someone point me to the correct procedure?
Sorry if I'm overly verbose here - I'm still trying to get the hang of things.
--Cheers!
