This is incorrect. Sequoia *does not* accept this invalid certificate. Sequoia and gnupg only differ in their fallback behaviour after the certificate has been correctly rejected.

Yes I do understand that behavior, but that wasnt explained that way by Stefan.

And I have understood it so far that Stefan claims Sequoia recognizes this certificate as valid and therefore continues to work.

To my understanding, Stefen has not yet spoken of a "fallback".

He actually went so far, to urge Werner in a more than rude way to add this (wrong) behavior into GnuPG.

For me personally, this is still a major obstacle to using Sequoia productively or to recommend it to our customers. I still regard this behavior as a gross error that needs to be fixed.

Best regards from Austria
Juergen
