Keep in mind that the GLEP does not require anybody to actually use
gkeys.  It is just a tool intended to make the GLEP easier to follow.

As has been pointed out, we haven't exactly been strict about
enforcing compliance, and for my part I'm not inclined to see a lot
more enforcement until the instructions/tools/etc catch up.  If
anybody wants to see increased adoption of the new GLEP, I'd recommend
focusing more on easy instructions and tools.

That said, anybody who cares enough will figure out how to get it
working.  I just made myself a dedicated tree-signing key and as far
as I could tell the last time I looked at it the key complied.  Just
don't try to send me any encrypted email, since the key in LDAP
probably doesn't work for encryption (having a separate LDAP record
for signing key and communication key might make sense).  :)
