Please stop.
Mind you, I have only asked that GnuPG should support the import and processing of UID-less public key blocks and did not requested that this should be a default behaviour in the key generation process. It is also interesting when you folks seem to run out of arguments that you try to get personal, but I don't mind and stop, as per request! :-) > > or a software which does not accept this and has no guidelines for > > free-form UIDs in their FAQ / man page, nor an equal treatment in > > the standard key generation process. > > If you want the documentation to reflect PII-free UIDs, please say > that. This could be a useful discussion. If the community believes > PII-free UIDs should be in the FAQ I will happily write up an entry > for it. Please discuss it with the community and try to add it later to the documentation as equally treated, in the key generation process.
