Yes. It is not used very much yet but some organizations like debian.org and kernel.org have it. > While it is probably good in its own right, the centralized SKS > network is easy to use and point gnupg toward.

SKS keyserver software does not have maintainers and currently it seems that not much development will happen on the server software. So there's no point in saying "SKS should do something". It won't. Unless someone starts writing code again. Until then only clients such as GnuPG can be updated to handle today's challenges like key signature flooding. Some have said that SKS keyservers are dying. They don't vanish immediately but it's good idea to look and develop alternatives like WKD or different keyserver implementations like Hagrid in <https://keys.openpgp.org>. -- /// OpenPGP key: 4E1055DC84E9DFF613D78557719D69D324539450 // https://keys.openpgp.org/search?q=tliko...@iki.fi / https://keybase.io/tlikonen https://github.com/tlikonen
