PKA support

Hi,

I just realized, as I was searching for Werner's current key, that PKA
was removed from GnuPG in 2021.

Until now that was my preferred way to spread my key.

What was the reason for that?

The problem with WKD is that it relies on https and I refuse to use that
broken CA based system that forces me to renew my certs every month or
even more often. The only halfway trustable CA is Cacert. But it is
nowhere installed anymore.

So PKA was the only alternative to WKD...

Regards
   Klaus
