tinc - Dec 2013 - Feature Suggestion: hosts cert syncing

I use tinc everyday to access a private network at work, and i have three
different public IPs to "bootstrap" other vpn clients so that a device
like
my laptop can always be on vpn wherever i go.
As there is will all networks, there are some maintenance costs associated
with tinc, one of which is making sure that all certs in the "hosts"
folder
are the same on all "bootstrap" nodes.

Im thinking it would be nice to add something like:
SyncHosts = yes
into the main tinc.conf file and all nodes with the same configuration will
share public cert information.

What think ye?

How would each host authorize to each other upon request for key data?

I just use version control to accomplish host syncing.
