That's all you need. Import the public keys from keyservers into your local 
keyring. Import the revocation certificate into the local keyring. Send the 
now revoked key to the keyservers.

The point of a revocation certificate is that you don't need the secret key to 
revoke the key - that's why the certificate must be kept SAFE!
