I feel that I've missed a memo too. I've never liked public keyservers either. Or, rather, the way they are normally used. I especially dislike how beginners' tutorials encourage their users to upload just-made keys to public keyservers before they (the users) have even learned how to use GPG with any degree of fluency... or even confirmed that their new keys are appropriately made or configured. Can somebody please point me to a more authoritative source of this keyserver news? Did Werner himself write anything about this? If it's true, then I welcome it too. On a highly related topic... My subkeys expired on Monday, 10/12/2018. I've updated my subkeys with a new expiration date (in one year). I'm considering NOT uploading the new public keys to the keyservers. Rather, I will distribute them using other channels, such as downloading from my personal website or sneakernet. Should I issue and publish a revocation certificate? Will this cause problems considering that I'm still using the same master key? Kind regards, Andrew -- EB28 0338 28B7 19DA DAB0 B193 D21D 996E 883B E5B9
