Oh and I thought one of the goals was to make it better readable ;-). Yet another goal not achieved - which is also not a surprise given the heavily increased size of the the specification. > 10 : Legacy format I don't know what you mean by Legacy Format. It might be that RFC9580 defines that as legacy but there is no reason for this. The old CTB works just fine and can't be dropped for backward compatibility reasons. > As far as I can tell, version 2.4.4 is from last year. And yet it > outputs *by default* a legacy format that was obsoleted 26 years It has never been obsoleted. BTW, GnuPG does not implement the new RFC9580 specification but LibrePGP which is just a minor update to the well matured RFC4880 specification.
