[RC5] Keyserver issues?

[Mike Reiprich]

I see that sub-phase 8 is now active, this may have been the reason for all 
of the unusually small stubs over the past couple days????

Can anyone report the current completed percentages of the 5 active 
sub-phases?  With the project over 80% now, phases 4-6 must be getting close 
to complete...
