I posted newer numbers to this list with these subjects:

  key count, 2004-03-01
  key count, 2004-03-31
  key count, 2004-07-06 (+ duplicates by short keyid)

The 2004-07-06 numbers were 172293 v2/v3 pubkeys and 1856928 v4 pubkeys
(with 1870716 subkeys) or 11066 new v2/v3 pubkeys v. 672518 new v4 keys
(pubkeys and subkeys) from 2002-05-2x to 2004-07-06.
