Publishing keys to keyserver seemed like bad idea anyway, there are better ways of publishing your public keys or signatures. Thats one of the reasons Keybase exists.

@nikolal SKS are stil built into GPG config and advertised by mainstream distros as default way to obtain keys for PPA etc; I use Keybase but it's still a separate ecosystem

@kravietz
Yes I know, Keybase seems like next evolutionary step into verifiable identities which includes gpg keys, don't know why devs don't use it in larger scale. I guess there is that gpg ecosystem you are talking about.
