Tim has already answered most of this.  Occasionally I see a red bar in kmail 
on someone's message, when passing it through the list (or somewhere else 
along the way) has corrupted something.  I know that it was once found that 
sometimes an additional EOL gets added (that was not on this list), but 
usually it's because either you aren't set up to collect the keys 
automatically, or the keyserver you are using doesn't have the key.  In 
theory an uploaded key is propagated to all servers, but in practice they 
sometimes are missed on some servers.

As Tim said, the weakness is in getting your key countersigned.  You know when 
you see my key that it came from me, the entity that is registered on the 
fedora-list, but you don't know whether I am really who I say I am or Donald 
Duck.  I tried to get the local LUG to have a key-signing session, but there 
was no interest.  For signing to be valid the person needs to know you 
personally or see incontroversial proof, such as a passport.
