Re: [Sks-devel] The end of an Era

[Philihp Busby]

I am turning off pgp.philihp.com until further notice. With hourly reboots, it 
still had 68% uptime in the last 24 hours, 89% in the last 7 days.

With no apparent developer traction on SKS development to fix its problems, I 
agree that we should ring the death knell. Our community isn't known for 
quickly changing, and continuing to support an outdated alternative doesn't 
help this.

Also: the SKS HKPS is pool is also centralized.
