I'm about to generate a new keypair, and got a few questions. I have many e-mail addresses and change them frequently, and therefore I don't want to have one in my public key. (Also because I'm afraid of getting spam.) I think this would be easier than having to update a lot of user IDs. Are there any any drawbacks in not having an e-mail address in the public key? Are there any widely used applications that will expect one, and not work if none is found?
Why is there no way to generate a RSA keypair in one step, like when you create a DSA/Elgamal keypair? Why do I first have to create a signing key, and then in a separate step create an encryption key? This is annoying. "Name must be at least 5 characters long" Why? There are probably many people who like to go only by their first name, and have a 3 or 4 character name. Is there any way to manually set the time that will be used for the creation time? Or do I have to change the system time if I don't want to use the current time? I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and think 00:00:00 looks much better than something like 01:42:57.
