There may be a few architectures which never had later versions of
the client compiled for them. If Bob could get information on what
kind of machine this "borg" was running on, you could have an answer
to this question. If it's a common machine with a modern client, sure.
The only way that a Paradise 2.01 "borg" could exist WITH a valid
key would be via hacking, or some guy who compiled a 2.01 client for
a wacky architecture has never recompiled the latest source, and has
decided making borgs with his ancient RSA key would be "pretty cool".
In that case, you should remove the key. I feel pretty certain that
99.99% of all people who play with Paradise clients wouldn't mind if
you removed keys for all clients less than 2.3, patchlevel 10.
The last 0.01% would be the borg-user(s) in question.
