No chance...

I do not know about OKS. pks does not regard the date of key
generation. You will find keys dated 2020 in the keyring...

OKS: do not know. pks: no, yes

They would not care. But they will perhaps resend such a "delted" key to
your server...
You can ignore that of course - but if it contains new keymaterial,
servers which get updates only from you will not get it.

We had some discussions on key deletion on list. You find the archive on
http://skylane.kjsl.com/~jharris/archives/

There are different point of views for that. So I do not give a summary
here ;-)

Cheers,
Patrick
