When I generate an RSA key, GPG provides the capabilities
sign, encrypt and authenticate (in expert mode), but
not certification.
Certification is always used automatically for the primary (signing) key.
If you edit your key (gpg --edit-key <foo>) you'll see a "Usage: CS" for
the primary key.
Is certification somethin that is actually implemented
or planned for the near future?
It is actually implemented (its one of the most basic features: signing keys
What usage is expected to depend on this capability?
Cryptographically it is about the same as normal signing, it simly
denotes that a key may be used to sign other keys.
