Hi!

I have seen no more comments on the second version of an Issuer
Fingerprint signature sub packet.  Thus unless I hear a strong opinion
against it by Thursday, I will push that to the repo so that it gets
included in the next draft version.  For convenience I copy the diff below.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
