Considering that keyservers are currently the only resilient way to distribute 
key revocations, I’m not sure I would be so sanguine. If I’m hosting my key 
exclusively on WKD or some other web based service, it would be easy to prevent

best of times. But SKS is the best tool we have at the moment, and the 
ecosystem would be severely damaged without it.
