My initial feeling is that we shouldn't contribute to a fragmented ecosystem, and that this issue would be better sorted out upstream, even if there's disagreement so far. Maybe some other folks have a clearer view of the problem at hand, right now I don't. My 0 cents, -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE

gpg no uid patch
Hi, While working with keys.openpgp.org, I've become aware of a patch that allows gpg to recieve keys with no uid: https://keys.openpgp.org/about/faq#older-gnupg Perhaps that's good for privacy, but upstream have rejected the patch. Some Linux distros are applying the patch locally. Should we? -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
