Others have explained the 'how'. Since I'm the creator of that algorithm, here's the why: The basic assumption is that a server that is bad for some reason might be bad for some time to come (network unstable, admin taking corrective measures and tweaking/restarting ntp a few times etc.) So we only want to let a server back in after it has shown that it can be trusted again. Also: the pool basically has enough servers, so kicking one server off it for a time does not much damage to the pool (hard though it may be for the ego of the admin ;-) greetings -- vbi -- featured product: GNU Privacy Guard - http://gnupg.org
