This wasn't announced anywhere (that I'm aware of), unfortunately,
but pgp.surfnet.nl now points to minsky.surfnet.nl, the site of
the new SKS keyserver, instead of horowitz.surfnet.nl, the site
of the well-known pks and LDAP keyservers.

Also, everyone who uses/prefers LDAP, please make it a point to submit
your keys to ldap://horowitz.surfnet.nl:11370, which is synchronized
with other public keyservers.  ldap://keyserver.pgp.com has not shared
keys with other keyservers for a long time now.
