As a pgp 2 user, I agree with all the above, and taking whatever steps are felt 
to be easier to maintain and move GnuPG forward.

Those who insist on using pgp2.x for whatever things (actually very very few) 
they feel cannot be accomplished with GnuPG, will do so anyway.

I ask only, that acceptance of V3 keys be maintained, 
as many of us have used our V3 keys in GnuPG, (with SHA 2 and 64 bit 
algorithms),

Otherwise, all our encrypted messages will not be able to be decrypted in later 
versions of GnuPG, and if the encrypted messages were signed, they would no 
longer be able to be verified,
(as even Disastry's version, while able to decrypt everything except Camellia, 
cannot verify a V4 key signature).
