Great! Good to know!

Yes of course, this makes perfect sense. There is however the fact that
good practice guides now a days often advice to generate a preemptive
revocation certificate at the time of creation of the key. So at that
moment the reason is well... not really relevant. So it's great that 2.1
does this on keypair generation.

Great, thanks!

This hack seems to have worked though (in python), but your suggestion
seems more robust:

   import pexpect

   cmd = "gpg --homedir {0} --gen-revoke {1}".format(KEYRING_DIR, 
'0xDEADD00D')
   px = pexpect.spawn(cmd, timeout=5)

   px.expect("(y/N)")
   px.sendline("y")
   px.expect("Your decision?")
   px.sendline('0')
   px.expect("> ")
   px.sendline("\n")
   px.sendline("\n")
   px.expect("Is this okay?")
   px.sendline("y")

   px.expect(pexpect.EOF)

   bidx = px.before.index('-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----')
   eidx = px.before.index('-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----')
   eidx += len('-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----')
   print px.before[bidx:eidx]


Salud,
Luis.
