And what is being discussed is filtering an expired signature, not
a public key, for one specific robo-signer.
Even if the filtering was solely limited to
an "opt-in" user requested hkp:// extension narrowly limited to just

expired signatures
there starts to be a benefit to GPG users who otherwise are "cleaning"
imported signatures manually.
