Björn, why would you want to put energy in support of such ancient
keys? V3 keys aren't supported any more by GnuPG 2.1, and nobody
mentioned V2 keys here for years. Usually, those keys are at best 1024
bits long which suggests that they are replaced by a adequate V4 key
with recommended key length right now.

They are obsolete in every aspect.
