I wouldn't expect the minority of existing PGP users to
be relevant. Would anyone else have the impulse to publish
a series of apparently random characters anywhere.
Is there any reason at all why this data is being displayed
by the UIs? I don't see any use for it anywhere. Manual keying
works by exchanging armors, no need to ever look at fingerprints.
