The best course of action in the better interest of the industry,
given the direction the official IETF standards process which is what
the industry will inevitably follow, would be for the LibrePGP Message
Format branch to merge back onto main at some point, either now or in
the future; sooner rather than later in the interest of resolving
those merge conflicts, as difficult as that may be. And then
continuing forward with the effort collaboratively.
The information provided in the comp I would hope would be a great
starting point for this effort.
But if that can’t be done, then there’s really no point to further
discussion on this issue. Because what we’re saying then is that the
only place where all this talk and effort will actually make a
difference in resolving this split, is simply out of the question. And
RFC 9580 will continue on as-is into the future as the industry
standard ratified by IETF until some similar disruptive event in the
future transpires; rinse and repeat.
Do I correctly gather that LibrePGP defines v5 and RFC9580 defines v6?
If so, where is the problem? What prevents both of those from
co-existing and implementations eventually supporting both?
