Would it make sense to change our docs to refer to subkeys.pgp.net 
instead of MIT?

FWIW, you may want to send that to subkeys.pgp.net, which is where
Matt plans to pull the keys from for the key signing.  This is the
default keyserver in recent gnupg releases.  I think that there is a
sync between pgp.mit.edu and subkeys.pgp.net, but I'm not positive.

The gnupg default is subkeys.pgp.net because pgp.mit.edu runs ancient
keyserver software that has many known problems (it ignores photo
packets, can munge up multiple subkeys, and other annoyances).

I do nothing, granted. But I see the hours pass - which is better than
trying to fill them.
