While I agree that revocation is a Very Hard Problem, I'm not convinced
that its abandonment is warranted. Letsencrypt have sidestepped the
issue by issuing short-expiration certs and requiring users to
continually refresh. This is practical for servers under X509 (where
automation is easy and the trust model is centralised) but not for
hyper-distributed PGP. So while revocation cannot be entirely relied
upon, it's still better than nothing and I think we should continue to
support it as best we can.
