Not from upstream.  We have a default keyserver because that is (or
better was) a pool of keyservers which allows to maintain a set of
responsive keyservers without chnages on the client side.
keys.openpgp.org may ask to be included into the pool but I doubt that
this makes sense because it is, like pgp.com, a standalone keyserver
which by design can't synchronize with others.


Shalom-Salam,
