I don't think that this should be changed. `secret_key_base` will be the
name of the key in yml file and will give you more idea about what it is,
rather then just `key_base` which means nothing and everything at the same
time. When new user will open secrets.yml for the first time it'll have now
idea what `key_base` is.
