Which keyserver

Let me break the prose down into the simple facts:

* the "HKPS" pool is no longer actually a "pool". it is a [single server].

* the "HKP" pool still contains a few servers, but using it means *all communication happens in plain text*.

* the newest release of SKS is [1.1.6], from august 2016.

It is true the attacks were what brought it down, but the amount of effort was not a "sustained
attack" by any measure. The invested resources are somewhere around "couple hours and $0.00".
