Comment(by mikeperry):

 Clarification: This ticket is for wiping key material from memory, not
 disk. The presumption is that the keys have already been removed from disk
 (and possibly stored offsite) manually by the relay admin.

 Not storing keys on disk in the first place and other forms of relay key
 agility should be considered in separate tickets, as they are more
 involved than this specific issue.
