I won't revert this change for two reasons:

1. It will take weeks to months until the majority of the Windows and
macOS systems will have updated (which first requires the availability
of new versions of gpg4win, GPGTools, GpgOSX etc).

2. As I already said publicly, the default in Enigmail 2.1 will be
keys.openpgp.org. The change is now just a little earlier than anticipated.

If you want a different default keyserver, you can change that manually
in the Enigmail preferences.
