Well defaulting to Exuvia.KeyBag.Dummy (with an ephemeral host key) can make life a little easier, it's insecure. You can really shoot hurt yourself by a misspelling in configuration, or forgetting to configure Exuvia.

Instead, we could:

  1. Default to Exuvia.KeyBag.Posix and {:dir, ...}.
  2. Not have any defaults and crash.
  3. Default to a new keybag that always returns {false, :infinity}.
