I think we need more infrastructure to support decentralized approaches,
too :-)

I have spoken before of a key most usefully mapping to a "reputation",
but current systems provide little scope to manage that reputation for
me. I would like it if OpenPGP kept track of what things it had seen
signed with each random public key it encounters; if I want to contact
you, and I find several keys claiming to be owned by "elijah" in my
keyring and/or public key servers, I'd like to see which one has signed
lots of [email protected] posts in the past. Currently, there's
no easy way of doing that.
