Just updated it here, and there were changes, 16 signatures cleaned, but
nothing other than that.  However, I know the last key refresh I did was
a few months ago.  With the DoS attack, I'm not likely to be refreshing
keys wholesale any more, even with "keyserver-options import-clean" in
my gpg.conf.  I know I have a copy of at least one key that, should I
refresh it carelessly, will do my GPG set up no favours.

Yes, but also it depends on when you previously refreshed that key (no
update needed) and whether any changes have propagated to all servers in
the SKS pool.  If changes haven't been fully propagated, there's a (slim,
I imagine) chance that you connect to a server with the outdated key.
