This could still be useful. Like how an XPUB allows you to use your wallet without pulling out your seed or keeping it in an insecure place, this could allow you to keep your master key somewhere safe while you simply use its derivatives. If you can put one of the keys on a secure platform where deletions are guaranteed, (thinking 2-of-2 multisig) then if your personal key is compromised, then you can re-initialise your setup. Maybe... ๐Ÿค”
From my understanding, 'invalidate' or 'revocation' are not the best descriptors. The old keys could still produce a valid signature, it's just that the participants, with new keys, choose to no longer use the older keys, though they may still be stored. That refreshing of the keys wouldn't however require a new public key to verify.
