It is only important for account recovery. It seems that lately we have had many people ask for account recovery and they can't use the regular email verification because they have lost their email account. Even randomness will cluster and it just seems that there has been a lot of account recovery lately. If they had uploaded a gpg key then it would be trivial to use it for identity verification. Something in the keyservers in the web of trust is obviously good too. But only a very few have done so. Therefore I have decided it would be a good idea to advertise it more so that it would be used more and available to people in the future if they need it. I will probably just start reminding people that the feature is there whenever I am looking at account data that doesn't have it. Bob
