Comment:

 Hi @nnikolov, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Unless I'm missing something, a better alternative is already implemented
 in [19771] for #19599.

 If the security keys are not changed, `wp_salt()` creates auto-generated
 keys and saves them in the database to use instead of the ones from `wp-
 config.php`. So I don't think showing an error on installation is
 necessary here.
