...and has been answered a number of times. The thing is (and most people seem to forget about this now and then) that most, if not all, of the pgp.net server operators do run their servers in their spare time. Since pksd has a long history of not being overly stable one is happy once the server is up and running. Thus, the never-change-a-running-system paradigm is being lived in this realm.
