The SRV record approach had to be dropped because the people doing
OpenPGP in web-browsers protested hard, since browsers _still_ refuse to
implement SRV lookup.  So we're stuck with an ancient model.

Currently that means "set up openpgpkey.example.org using whatever
loadbalancers and multiple A records across regions you like".

Within a few years we _might_ be able to get SRV-like distribution for
HTTPS with the proposed new `HTTPS` RR-type for DNS:
  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-https
but that's not something you can rely on today.
