17 keys is a lot of keys to have generated yourself (though there are
some circumstances where i'm sure it makes some sort of sense).  But if
those aren't all your own keys:

If you have been in the habit of assigning ultimate ownertrust to keys
other than your own, you probably want to reconsider that decision.

ultimate ownertrust allows a keyholder to make any certification
whatsoever (including over their own keys) and have you accept their
certification.

In general, use full or marginal ownertrust for parties other than yourself.
