Hagrid is IMO a no-go: in order to solve the greatest shortcomings of
SKS, it drops one of OpenPGP's greatest features: the Web of
Trust. Yes, for many, the WoT is an anachronistic holdout... But many
among us still believe in it.

I have been pondering to set up a hockeypuck keyserver to get
acquinted with it, as I will be doing some work in the next couple of
years.

(For full disclosure: I recently joined a PhD program, and my study
subject is how to keep the decentralized properties of the WoT network
while at the same time being able to counter the attacks we have seen
on it).
