I perfectly understand that central management of keys is when
handling much hosts and many users is a good solution,
but I think it's a bit odd.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, the host receives from the authority
keys, and uses those to do the signature checking, or the creation of
a signature.
Keys are send from the authority to the host.
But why don't let the authority handle everything with the server to
connect to, keymaterial stays on the cert authority.
