 Gpg short ids are not safe.

 Instant of
 {{{
 gpg.exe --keyserver x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x63FEE659
 }}}

 suggest
 {{{
 gpg --keyserver x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys
 8738A680B84B3031A630F2DB416F061063FEE659
 }}}

 I suppose people who do this, know copy and paste.

 This stops anyone from posting a key to the keyserver with the same short
 id 0x63FEE659.
