You are talking about this.  In fact you suggest to change lots of
things without taking the standards and the expectations of the
existing users in account.

I am all in favor for changes to make the use easier.  Adding new
features and changing the long established defaults is just the
opposite.

I am not in a position to issue an ultimatum and won't do that in any
case.  I merely said that your suggestion of an extra key won't be the
default and remarked that you are free to change the defaults.  Oh wait:
You may also contact me at my company address and ask for a quote to
change and maintain a version of GnuPG changed to your suites; or ask
someone else for example those listed at https://gnupg.org/service.html .

Care to read the NEWS?

  --------------------------------------------------------
  
   * gpg: Make export of secret keys work again.
  
   * gpg: Create revocation certificates during key generation.

and please recall that this is about a beta version, we are on a devel
list and that there are bugs in the code and definitely in the docs.


Shalom-Salam,
