For what it's worth, my main concern is that it is a centralized 
service.

This puts whoever is running keys.openpgp.org in a uniquely good 
position to do Bad Things™. Of course I don't expect they would, but the 
point is, they could (or they could be forced to).

That being said, I have nothing better to propose and overall I welcome 
any attempt, however imperfect, to make OpenPGP slightly easier and/or 
more comfortable to use. (And I do note that Hagrid developers "plan to 
explore options for a distributed service in the future" [1].)

Regards,
