Sure it has the --list-packets command.

Well, I was obviously not caution enough with my statement. What I mean is that the current way the IETF WG works has a high potential to just this. At least an article in the very popular c't magazin might have such an effect. Maybe I should not overvalue such articles and postings on mailing lists. > Let us be clear here: you appear to be saying that if I want to update > hockeypuck to support both librepgp and crypto-refresh artifacts, I am > helping to destroy a solid standard? Or have I misunderstood your Given that Ubuntu's Hockeypuck is the default keyserver for GnuPG for most people (i.e. on Windows) it would be good if it continues to support at least the default keys. Whether X448 or the forthcominng Kyber subkeys are relevant for keyservers is a different questions. FWIW, I have severe doubts on the usefulness of public keyservers given the DoS problems for users and the wrong - but real - assumption of users that keys from a keyserver are trustworthy. Sending keys with an initial mail is a better way; keyserver should be used only to provide subkey updates and revocations - no search by user id. > I will bring this to the WG, with your comments.
