The override-session-key feature was designed to mitigate the effect
of the British RIP act by allowing to keep the private key private and
hand out only a session key. For that use case the leaking of the
session key would not be a problem. However there are other use
cases, for example fast re-decryption after an initial decryption,
which would benefit from concealing the session key from other users.
