A step which has really profound privacy implications.

I couldn't find a PGP key server operator that committed itself to
keeping logs confidential and deleting them in a timely manner (but I
didn't look very hard, either).  Of course, since PGP hasn't
progressed as faster as our computing resources, I'm nowadays in a
position to run my own key server, but this is hardly a solution to
that kind of problem.
