Description
I dont know if this is a feature if a bug.
I had to wipe my phone twice for other reasons, but when installing Keybase app, I am unable to login. I have to add a new device.
If I use the same name, it complains about that name already is in use.
If I revoke the device, I still cannot use the same name, and then I have a growing list of revoked devices.
I dont really mind as I dont plan on wiping out my phone all the time.
Is there a way to remove the revoked devices so the names can be reused?

Research direction
The payload names no files or tests; start by tracing the iOS app's login, device-add, and device-revoke flows. Determine where revoked device names are retained and how reuse is expected to work. Done should be demonstrated by a reproducible test or documented behavior covering reinstall, revocation, and reuse of the device name.
