There is a reason that we we use a syncing keyserver instead of the x-th attempt to for a "verifying" keyserver onto PGP users. > - Upstream deprecates systemd support, which was originally introduced > in Debian version.

Using systemd activation here introduces races because you can't have two (advisory) locking systems where each does not know about the other. For an engineering POV we can't switch to socket activation for portability reasons. Keep in mind that the heaviest desktop users of gpg are on Windows and we tried hard to keep changes as small as possible. That benefits all users: On Linux, AIX, *BSD and Windows.
