Many keyserver operators run under the aegis of larger networks, and are
beholden to the decisions made by network administrators above them.
Some networks block ping (usually because of claims that ping is a
security concern).
I don't like the idea of the community adopting a SHOULD -- even
informally -- when a large fraction of the community will lack all
ability to conform with the SHOULD.
