Could you please elaborate on the situations where you might want to
impose this restriction on a (service) principal? Keep in mind that
the principal will not be able to change its own key as long as that
flag is set.
I will grant that the non-orthogonality of the flags looks inelegant.
I also think that any attempt to make this set of flags more
orthogonal should also consider requests for user-to-user tickets.
