Hehe.  Yeah, the original PKS code from Marc Horowitz should *not* be
used.  I do believe that many keyservers are still using the PKS
version from sf.net (some with various patches from the keyserver ops
mailing lists).  Not a lot changes fast with the PGP key format and
the keyserver contain no crypt code to verify the keys or anything, so
they don't require a lot of maintenance.

(Not that I'm suggesting running a keyserver is a worthwhile use of
time. :)

Seems like a waste of valuable time to me.  Why does FAS need to use a
keyserver at all?  If it does need to use one, using the same default
as gnupg does (subkeys.pgp.net) seems like a sane plan.  Any decent
keyserver will sync with the other public keyservers, so placing a lot
of emphasis on any particular one doesn't seem important IMO.

Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the
matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the boot-maker.
