O.k. I must admit I did not thought about the centralization issue,
people might have.

Well, then operators could put that on a link of their own WWW key
server interface and Kristian could add only a column in his pool
page, indicating that server x,y,z has a canary, without taking any
actions.

Even if Kristian does not like the idea than at least people could
see that operators are willing to support the idea.
