One of the issues with that is not supervising the alias you delegate power
to.
keys.gnupg.net (aka hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net) only has servers in Europe.
keys.gnupg.net has EDNS0 issues http://dnsviz.net/d/keys.gnupg.net/dnssec/
I do understand why someone decided to delegate keys.gnupg.net to someone
else, but is that healthy for GnuPG?
