Marc mentioned 5.2.3.17 (Key server preferences) and that reminded me of a
suggestion I wanted to make.
One of the major complaints I hear about PGP key servers is the inability
to delete keys once they are sent to the server. I'd like to request the
addition of two new flags for subpacket 23:
0x40 = Disabled
the key holder requests that this key not be returned upon
a search of the key server.
0x60 = Enabled
the key holder requests that this key be returned upon a
search of the key server.
Keys bearing the disabled flag would either reside on the key server and
never be returned in a search (except perhaps to the administrator), or
they would be immediately deleted upon receipt by the key server.
(The reason for the enabled flag is to reverse the effects of the disabled
flag at a later date. And of course, if neither the disabled not the
enabled flags are set, keys are implicitly enabled.)
