That's an interesting idea, and it has merit in itself, but from a keyserver point of view I think a more general solution is to explode TPKs into atomic components, sync them separately, and reconstruct the TPK on demand at query time. This addresses not just reordering of packets, but also differential filtering, simultaneous updates, etc.
