Unfortunately I promised to Werner to not get political anymore about
the EU and GDPR thingies.

To the Server you're Mentioning:

I don't think it's such a good idea to drop Signatures on keys.
Validating the KEys and it's packet would mitigate many of the SKS
issues. But some people and solutions rely on the signatures.

Okay, running an in house keyserver might be an option for this
situations.

Also the centralized Approach is a no go in my opinion.

Reading this thread, I feel like I've done a time travel, back to the
times where people distributed their keys over the usenet due to the
lack of keyserver dunctionality. Keyservers like the desribed one is
less than useless in my opinion.

Even removing the ability to search for keys by UID is a thing I don't
like. But that's the GDPR panic. Yes, I know, no politics from the
angry guy. ^^

So, it's pretty hot here. Werner must have turned on the Heater. I'll
be quite now. :D

Regards,
Dirk
