I see it too.
FWIW, which isn't that much, if you want a temporary workaround you can
use keys.sks.pool.globnix.net -- however, that makes no attempt to
subset the results, so DNS will fall back to TCP. It does not include
1.0.10 servers. There's also keys.ipv4.sks.pool.globnix.net and
keys.ipv6.sks.pool.globnix.net. I didn't bother coming up with nicer
names as this was just me exploring what I could do and coming up with
names which exist but aren't so likely to be memorable and detract from
the existing pools.
