On really last addition on this (promised :-) ): I tried to mix up keys with new and old packet header types. Is it desired that gnupg simply converts them back to old packet headers (if possible) without any notice to the user?
The packet header for any packet number less than 16 is utterly irrelevant in every possible way. GnuPG can change it to the new format, the old format, or even mix the two in a pretty pattern. And without notifying the user. Again, the packet header for any packet number less than 16 is utterly irrelevant in every possible way
What will keyservers do when someone uploads a key with e.g. old packet headers,... that's already there, but just with new packet headers?
