This is true, but it would be perfectly feasible to have a working
network of public keyservers that did not reveal email addresses. User
IDs could contain a hash of the email address. Applications querying
the keyservers could query for the hashed email address. Privacy would
be the main advantage to such a system; eliminating the possibility of
keyserver spam is a positive side-effect.
