When a user tries to upload keys, the server should check the file's date on the local machine and compare it with the server's. If the server's key is newer, the client should be prompted to make sure that they're ok with overwriting the newer key with the old key.

For downloading keys we have a practice of checking the keys before overwriting, but we currently have no warnings on the upload side.
