agreed, key continuity checking is itself a useful tool, and maybe more
OpenPGP implementations should provide ways to facilitate that for keys
that *aren't* well-bound to the Web of Trust by the user's current trust
database.
Key continuity checking doesn't solve the problem of initial contact,
though. And it doesn't cope well with re-keying in the event of a
compromise. So having functional, cryptographically-valid
infrastructure available to handle those important cases is a good thing.
