It is also useful for local mirrors and / or private keyservers.

I was syncing my portage tree today, and this patch introduces a bit of a confusing message for users: >>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'... > * Using keys from /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc > * Refreshing keys from keyserver None ... [ ok ] This implies to the user that the keys AREN'T being refreshed from _any_ keyserver, when it looks to me (based on a cursory examination of the Gemato code?) that if the keyserver argument is None, then the keys are refreshed "from their assigned keyserver" (https://github.com/mgorny/gemato/blob/master/gemato/openpgp.py) This message was different / surprising enough to me that I spent some time in #gentoo, where I was told that "everything is fine," where, ultimately, I suppose it was, but I had to spend about 20 minutes digging through source to convince myself of that. Would it be possible to wrap this status line (https://github.com/gentoo/portage/blob/244a4021ce58268336fd7b120ab7b9eb09acb26e/lib/portage/sync/syncbase.py#L255) with an appropriate check on whether self.repo.sync_openpgp_keyserver is None, so that it prints the previous message in that case, and prints the user-defined server name in not-that-case. I understand that this is a fit-and-finish issue, really, but I'm trying to save future Gentoo'ers both the surprise and the associated goose chase...
