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?
