I agree entirely.  See below.

I suspect the fact that our key hasn't been blacklisted yet is due to the fact
that Ivan was actively speaking with someone at ICQ.  I could be mistaken, though.

If you need a temporary fix, I'd say use one of the official clients' keys.
It's going to be difficult for them to invalidate those keys without hurting
their own users, and it'd still be a cat-and-mouse game where all we'd have to
do is simply keep copying their new keys.
