No problems with the keys per se, but I am referring here to the 'etc?'
in your question.

GnuPG 2.0.14 will require the configuration and use of gpg-agent, that
will cache (without writing it to disk) the passphrase of your secret key.

Thus, for the value you'll set to gpg-agent's cache, you will not have
to type your passphrase, after you have typed it once for decrypting,
and once for signing.

and others.
