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. :)
Hmm, so good idea or bad idea:
Implement full key functionality in FAS2 for 2.1?
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
