Removing from keyserver is bad idea. After public key was issued,
there are two status for public keys which are "Valid" or "Not-Valid"
(removked).
[ example snipped ]
i don't think the example in question should dictate everyone's
policy.
if it really is the case that in step 1 alice distributes her public
key to the world for verifying her signed text by everyone, that is
her policy decision and she has to figure out a way to make that work
-- assuming that the mechanisms exist, she can express that in her key
info by setting an expire time significantly in the future and perhaps
some other field that expresses the idea that she cannot go back on
her word.
other people may not want that kind of policy. i know i don't for
every key i make.
