wwwkeys.*.pgp.net is in widespread use (* =3D=3D one of nl, pl, at, ch, de,
dk, cz, es, eu, uk, earth.net.uk, net.uk, '' - though I believe not all
are good), the servers sync with each other.

BUT - most public keyservers have serious flaws:
 - they don't accept a key with a photoid
 - they corrupt a key with multiple subkeys

So actually everybody is waiting for newer keyservers to appear (though
I haven't heard much on this subject in the few months I've been
listening here)
