I've been using it for the last few months. It works pretty well. They seem to
have considered their implementation properly. My subkeys expire once a year
and just before that happens I extend the expiry date on them and push the new
sigs up to the keyservers. Facebook doesn't check the keyservers, it just uses
the key/sigs that you upload. When my subkeys expired, they just sent me an email
saying that they were going to send me an encrypted email but couldn't because
of a problem with my key. I uploaded the one with the new sigs and that fixed it.
Would be nice if they joined the main keyserver pool and automatically applied
new signatures.
