At that time, the keyserver will no longer accept keys that are identified as having been created by versions of PGP lower than 2.4. (PGP 2.4 is Viacrypt PGP.)
It is my understanding that folk outside the USA can legally run PGP versions from 2.0 to 2.3a, but cannot legally run Viacrypt 2.4 or the RSAREF-based version 2.5, because they contain code that cannot be exported from the USA. Thus, it appears that the keyserver will not accept any legally created keys from outside the USA. I think that this is a bad thing. --apb (Alan Barrett)
