Comment 1 Devan Goodwin 2012-06-05 12:55:41 UTC 
Unsubscribe can actually be used for the "offline" use case, where the system is not registered, and the user is manually importing their certificates. As such they need to be able to use unsubscribe --all.
Comment 2 Devan Goodwin 2012-06-05 12:56:18 UTC 
There is a separate bug for reporting there are no subscriptions to remove if none are present, which should help this situation as well.
