This only applies to the gnupg-1.4.x packages in Fedora. Fedora 30 will ship with gnupg-2.x as /usr/bin/gpg (with keyserver support intact). The packages from the 1.4.x branch will be installed as /usr/bin/gpg1 for users who want to keep using it. Dropping the keyserver and photoviewer helpers is part of the next planned release from the 1.4.x branch, which is being tracked in https://dev.gnupg.org/T3443. Hopefully that helps clarify things a bit and removes any worries that Fedora is stripping keyserver support from the default /usr/bin/gpg. -- Todd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You know an odd feeling?
