Sort of.

Yes.

No.  Keyserver reconciliation is 90% of the problem.  Fixing this would
make it impossible for older keyservers to reconcile with a next-gen design.

Please, *don't*.  We have had this discussion so many times over the
past ~15 years that I can't stand to go through it again.  Go through
the list archives, read those past discussions, and then if you come up
with anything new post it to the list.
