Werner, Do you think Collin's worry could become real, that is, GnuPG keys could not be uploaded to or retrieved from keys.openpgp.org at some point in the future? Or will OpenPGP and LibrePGP remain so close to each other that keys.openpgp.org should work with both types of keys, for the foreseeable future? Bruno
