I am having trouble with your logic on this topic. How does issuing a
Revocation Certificate and uploading that to the KeyServer, differ in
any way from deleting a UID and uploading to the KeyServer, or better
yet to have the ability to delete right on the KeyServer itself. With
distribution being the same either way, I think it's a cleaner process
to remove the UID completely, and although that isn't possible at
present, it surely is wanted.
