There seems to be rough consensus on openpgp at ietf.org to phase out 
compression, except for backwards compatibility reasons - so proposal #1 
should be fine with everyone.
Proposal #2 is more in line with the original proposal by Justus, 
Vincent an Neal - and the counter-arguments were not against changing 
the defaults for new keys but having to keep compression in 
implementations.
So GnuPG development comunity: Would you be fine in changing the default 
for new keys to "Compression: Uncompressed"?
