This is about decision power.

You are taking our software and changing it. This is not about a Bug it's an 
opinonated decision. You are stealing the maintainership of GnuPG.

You are not the maintainer of GnuPG, it's our decision which keyserver is 
default. That you claim the right to just overrule us is free software at its 
worst. We should not have to convice you that our Software does the right 
thing.

Debian is happly patching away on GnuPG. Ok. But at this point where our own 
user experience on Debian is broken by your changes we have to take a stand. 
This is not a technical issue. You are simply overruling us.

For now I still care a bit about debian and will stand up against you. It's 
probably hopeless but some core piece of software like GnuPG might stand a 
chance against even against profesional packagers that can spend their days 
writing long mails.


Regards,
Andre
