The problem isn't widespread in that other keyservers are doing this
sort of thing.  A simple explicit deletion of all PGP directory keys
would suffice.  Plus, it would send a message to PGP about their
behavior in bloating the key infrastructure when there are lots of more
technically elegant solutions to what they were doing.
