Where did the client get the ""newer data"" from ??
Is not the client updating himself from a master database that should
have the latest info ??
No. The "client" receives updates from 2 sources:
Individual users uploading new/updated keys.
Other servers sending "incermentals" which are the new/updated keys that
they have received from individual users or other servers.
