Luckily if Mozilla is actually going to use a reimplementation of
OpenPGP instead of using the badly designed gnupg program, there will be
the option of interacting with a developer of OpenPGP software who is
willing to do things like check the size of a downloaded SKS key before
importing it... rather than getting angry at the world, flipping over
the board, and deciding that only the inferior keys.openpgp.org in
combination with self-sigs-only shall be used in future.
