Good lord! You have to go through all of THAT just to insert something into
the network?? What a kludge. Even if you somehow manage to hide this from
the users, you still have to do all of it programmatically, and there goes
any hope of a simple design. What is the suggested solution for the problem
of locating a keyserver? The mere existence of key servers compromises the
network by giving attackers central point(s) of failure.
I'd like to hear one good reason TO use catalogs, other than "we've already
done it" that isn't provided for by a more simple and robust mechanism.
