Whatever these OpenPGP specs ever will be.  We deployed things years ago
and won't extend that unless there are sound reasons for it.

It would be a bit sad if we eventually need to state: "GnuPG implements
OpenPGP as specified by RFC-4880 and RFC-6337 plus some extensions
described [[here]]".  However, our users and their data is more
important to us than implementing a newer RFC.


Salam-Shalom,
