Fingerprints aren't really for the wire, and if you use them for the
wire, you're exercising your right to develop your own security model
and threat model.  For my money - don't do that.

The fingerprint is used for an revocation key (5.2.3.15).  However, your
policy may simply disallow the use of a revocation key if this is a
threat to you.
