I didn't know about --locate-key.
I wondered if it would work on my own key.
I have a not-very-scalable WKD server created with some Apache rewrites.

obiwan-[~](3.3.8) mcr 10037 %gpg --locate-key mcr at sandelman.ca

uhm. What?  It's not even valid. That's not useful, given:

So I expected --locate-key would actually go and find the key, and see if it
might need updating.
