except if you already have uploaded to a keyserver you won't be able
to delete the uid very effectivly since keyservers only merge data,
not remove.  same thing with anyone who already has your key, if they
merge your new key with the new uid they will have a key with both
uids.  

uid deletion only effects your local keyring it will not propagate.
