No, we won't.  That is not what I am proposing.

More generally:  PK is not synonymous with PKI.

In particular, you can have public and private keys without
having anything resembling a globally-trusted root CA.

For the *third time* I emphasize the simple principle:
  I trust keys that I have issued myself.
