Yes, that's better than pushing a "bad" catalog. If we now e-mailed
the list or any other people than the two being able to sign the
catalog we would still not get anything done most likely since they
already received an e-mail and for unknown reason didn't sign it in
time. Now more people would know but still not being able to help,
that's not good.

Maybe Ben's suggestion about only entering the password on daemon
startup is better. Assuming the daemon is stable we would avoid this
even though it hasn't happened frequently.
