I've got the impression from Werner that this is the current state of affairs: Recommend keyid-format long, but do not make it a default. (*) I am all for making it a default with GnuPG 2.1 at least, because people should profit from using a stable API like GPGME. But unless it is the default in most installations out there, I'd welcome having it in the FAQ. (*) There probably was previous discussion about this which I could not easily find. Please point me to it by pm or take the subject to gnupg-devel.
