Two thoughts:
1. "Speed it, O Lord! Let Thy Kingdom come!" With 50,000 certificates
in the strong set and only a few million certificates overall, we're
talking about a DB that you can easily fit on a device that hangs off
your keychain. OpenPGP is a fringe technology at best, and partially
due to that we're a long, long way from scalability issues. If we were
to grow enough that scalability became an issue, I'd be applauding,
cheering, and thanking Divine Providence.
2. Ad-hoc is actually a pretty awesome peering system, so long as
you've got a system that can exploit the small world effect -- and SKS
exploits it like it was a mail-order bride. :)
