Various things can cause servers to end up holding the public parts of one-time keys that clients have since forgotten the private parts of. For example:

It is proposed that we could implement a mechanism to detect such desyncronisation, and fix it.

matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#4162 proposes a mechanism for this.

There has been significant discussion at #2406.

I am not hugely in favour of this, as I believe it risks masking the underlying bugs. However, there might be merit in making it a configurable option which is only enabled on certain deployments.
