Having thought about this some more myself, I'm pretty happy with what we have.  We don't throw away keys until they aren't needed (as @kazuho points out), plus a little extra.  So I think that this is a case of "phew, false alarm".

If anything, we should be discussing whether the timer is needed at all.
