There are people using v3 keys that are not using MD5 (other than the fingerprint, obviously). I am one of them. My v3 key (0x560553e7) has v4 self-signatures on it, none of which recommend MD5. All of the preferences are for algorithms presently considered strong (except SHA-1, but removing that isn't possible, unfortunately). Obviously, I'm not using PGP 2.6, since it won't read my key. I have moved to using a v4 key for everyday usage, but my v3 key still has more signatures on it than my v4 key, and I am not planning on revoking it by any means. I still accept signatures on it and data encrypted to it, just like I do with my v4 key. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
