An uber-conservative person or organisation will weed out all unwanted
keys anyway, regardless of wether a command to do this is included in
the main distribution. Instead of removing the keys from the store,
he/she/it will probably recode his/her/its node to prevent the requests
for unwanted keys from even getting passed on to other nodes. The
ClientDelete command will probably not be used by such persons or
organisations.

Maybe we should ClientDelete all pr0n to avoid scaring them away.
