That is the very purpose of invalid (revoked, expired) keys in the server: tell people that the keys are invalid and not to be used. If the keys were removed from servers (which won't happen) it would be more difficult to share that important information. A reminder email doesn't sound like a good idea: a key might be revoked or expired because the owner's email address is no longer valid. The server can't know if user wants to update key's expiration date or if the key is expired or revoked for good. keys.openpgp.org is different from usual SKS keyservers so there might be different policies. My views in above paragraphs are about SKS keyservers. -- /// OpenPGP key: 4E1055DC84E9DFF613D78557719D69D324539450 // https://keys.openpgp.org/[email protected] / https://keybase.io/tlikonen https://github.com/tlikonen
