Now, I haven't ever revoked a key, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is how it
is supposed to work. After all, the revocation certificate is just a special
type of signature. You don't upload signatures to a keyserver, you upload keys
with signatures to a keyserver. The keyserver then merges in all the signatures
it has on that key.

That's old. Like, really old. Why do you use such an old version?

As for PGP 2.6.3, I believe the idea (IDEA? :) is that if you really still want
to use that, you have to be prepared for some struggles to get all sides
communicating. That's the price you pay.
