I don't mind adding it to keyserver.kjsl.com, but I count 4 pks servers
which would currently be unduly affected.  Also, keyserver.veridis.com
has made some changes and is once again working with GPG (at least for
fetching by (short) keyid).

As well, will this change work for those using the HTTP interface(s) to
the pgp.com keyserver(s)?  (IINM, you said there was one for keyserver-
beta, at least.)
