For others who want to review some
(including opinionated) 3rd party

Well, it appears we are damned if we do, and
damned if we don't, we just need to pick what
Fedora believes is the least damned [0].

While the IETF has it's issues (FD: I have
even attended a very few IETF meetings in
person (although not crypto related), and
they were, um, "interesting"), I think we
should likely follow the IETF's OpenPGP
standard(s), as RFCs are the basis of
much of the interoperability that we
depend on.  If that requires additional
effort to get less wrong, then we most
likely need to do that work.

I have not followed the other major distros
(including, perhaps importantly, a major
Enterprise Linux's planning processes for
ELnext).  Do we have any indications as to
what they are doing or planning?




[0] With the only difference as to the
number of foot holes, with zero being
an unlikely number?).
