So what matters is what runs on the 11371 port.  Thus:
  http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=stats

So any bugs are bugs in SKS.  Unsurprisingly, one of the planet's most
popular PGP keyservers stresses the software more than most of us.

Note: I'm not protesting moves to migrate software to use pools, that's
sane.  I read Dan's post as referring to the old non-subkey-aware setup,
which was stale.  On re-reading, he could just have been referring to
the recent troubles and I misinterpreted.
