i've seen a multitude of ways people input data into this pref
for example, some people put a link to their public key .asc or .txt file
some others put a link to an actual keyserver
from the name of the actual pref, it states a keyserver, so shouldn't
users input a link to their Preferred keyserver and not a link to
download a public key or txt file ?
Please don't use this option, or encourage its use. It leads to the trap
described here:

which most users (even those few who update their keyrings) cannot
figure out how to escape.
There is no good reason to use this option, and the public key servers
are vastly preferable in any case.
