I think the point was that with the current keyserver setup, it wouldn't
die off at all and there is basically no cost to maintaining the noise.
You can easily grow the database to a crazy size and it'll be difficult
to shrink it back down, as the keyservers keep syncing and you have to
coordinate the entire network or the noise will just keep coming back.

No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
