With the recent outages of the keyservers there is a possibility of `--refresh-keys` failing to fetch new keys. A lot of current key distribution is done over WKD these days, and `pacman-key` has the ability to use it for `--recv-key`.
There was a hope `gpg` would end up supporting WKD for the refresh functionality, but this seems to be limited to expired keys fetched through WKD. Since this functionality isn't yet available it makes sense to stuff it into `pacman-key`.
The current implementation looks over all available keyids in the keyring, attempts to fetch over WKD and then fall backs to keyservers if no email has a valid WKD available. The downside of this approach is that it takes a bit longer to refresh the keys, but it should be more robust as the distribution should be providing their own WKDs.
I'm going to assume most keys will have WKD. Otherwise a bit longer becomes much, much longer as we no long fetch keys in parallel...

Can we just use "grep -vx" here?

There is going to be so much error spam to the terminal with this. Peoples distro IDs are rarely first.

This error can be improved given we fetch the key one at a time now.
