I happen to be similarly skeptical of key servers and don't want
to spend much effort with helping to evolve the concept.
I might be wrong, though, and there are good uses that solve real
security issues for people. When i say "real security issues"
i mean those who otherwise are oppressed and imprisoned for real,
not in some potentiality. It's about real outcomes for people
and not some security ideal.
Some folks certainly think key servers are useful and i respect them.
And also, who knows, i might be missing something. I admit that
so far the arguments pro key servers (eg revocation) have
not made me lean more towards going for it.
