I fully agree.  It has always been a fixme which was never done due to
the lack of a protocol change with the keyservers.  However, the
intention has always been to not allow an upload.

I can't yet decide on this because I have no clear vision on how to
implement the workflow to create the new attestation.  Probably they
should be handled like a local signature and only exported when needed.
Older versions need to be dropped to avoid cluttering the keyblock with
lots of old and useless attestations.
