Apparently, *pgp.mit.edu and *.keyserver.net do NOT share keys. |

For some reason (this is anecdotal, but from about 3 months ago on this |
| 8 |
list) the admins of the latter ignore the former, so the interconnect |
| 9 |
has never been established. |

[Thus though most developers register with a keyserver, there are large |
| 12 |
gaps from any given user's perspective based on which keyserver cluster |
| 13 |
(mit.edu, pgp.com, keyserver.net, etc) they are pulling from] |

FWIW, I would recommend that Gentoo just pick a keyserver cluster as |
| 16 |
authoritative and stick to it. People seem to regard MIT's well... |
