The intent is pretty clear, despite it not rising to the level of an RFC
2119 MUST.  Did anyone on this list expect the keyserver network to
propagate non-exportable certifications?

Sorry, can you explain how reporting a bug is making a mountain out of a
molehill?

I'm not saying that the world is collapsing, i'm reporting a bug in a
piece of free software on the mailing list where that free software is
discussed, and hoping to help find a way to fix it.  I'm hoping for
responses in similar good faith.

All the best,
