Not yet.  Just a kneejerk so far.  They have decided they have the

the administration decides to "just say no" they have shown us

Easily.  By using it for the purpose of distibuting hard public keys.
Willingly or not, they have solved that problem.  :-)

are doing that just fine all by themselves.  :-)
