Yep, this is a really good idea. It also allows replacement of ciphers
as we get paranoid about some and gain confidence in others.

This is a pretty good idea. I like it.

"Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe
the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens
above and the moral law within me. I do not seek or conjecture either of
them as if they were veiled obscurities or extravagances beyond the horizon
of my vision; I see them before me and connect them immediately with the
consciousness of my existence." - Immanuel Kant "Critique of
Practical Reason"
