Sure, but it doesn't help server operators until after those changes are
made. And because hockeypuck is currently ineligible to be a member of
any of the pools, operators migrating en masse to it will hasten the
pools' death. If you don't have one of the poisoned keys in your
keyring, there's nothing wrong with continuing to use the keyservers
(for now), so we shouldn't kill a service that's working just fine for
those people, not until we have a replacement.
