I like to mention one more thing.

When Mr. Zimmermann invented PGP and Hal Finney was responsible
for the key management part, it was IMHO more or less meant to give
grassroots organizations (*in the United States*) a tool, with for them
best-known practice at this time, to communicate with persons known
to one and *not* strangers.

When we compare this now globally and with the WoT or Governikus.

What happens or how would one feel, classic WoT wise and these
IMHO stupid keyservers (at least how they work, i.e. SKS or hockeypuck)
if one attends a key signing party, signs a key from let's say a child
molester and receives from him also a sig? I guess when this becomes
publicity know that the person who has such a key may feel pretty
unconfortable, because the Internet does not forget and the person
may run into trouble too.

This is one reason, why I like Governikus, because it is a CA sig.
