While wks is nice in theory, easy to set up not everyone has their own control 
over a domain to do so and sadly decreases the use of pgp in the scope of a 
broad spectrum of arenas.

Places like https://keys.openpgp.org/ let us down even more by requesting 
verification of the email address used whereas I might want to just use 
email@dumb.notfound.domain that will never exist and cannot be used with that 
service just for a specific period of time and project.

I hate to say it but I really think pgp could benefit from a blockchain 
implementation keeping it distributed among peers versus its current status.
