* some people don't want their keys on the keyservers unless they've
been revoked.
* not everyone has access to a keyserver (i've recently recieved mail
from someone asking for my key by mail because at work they can't get
through to the keyservers)
* some people fetch their mail, disconnect, and read and respond to it
while offline, so having the local key is handy.
I agree that keeping some state (or being able to infer state) about
whether your peer likely has your key would be a useful thing. I'm not
sure what the right rules would be to make this relatively seamless and
not-confusing, though.
