1) If the keyserver (of whatever type) isn't reachable...
As you say, easy to solve: agreed.
2) Concern that enough people turning this feature on would add significant load to the keyserver network...
An open question and one we'd need to address: agreed.
3) It leaks information more than auto-key-retrieve or auto-key-locate does.
I'm not entirely sure this is a problem. If you're concerned about the keyserver operator knowing that you're acquiring certificates, why would you use that keyserver? Why not use a different keyserver instead? If there were a single centralized keyserver, or a keyserver hierarchy where individual nodes took marching orders from those above them, this would be much more of a problem -- but here, the decentralized nature of the keyserver network seems to work in our favor. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
