Hi,
what happened the overhauled specifications of OpenPGP?
It seems that the IETF working group
plans to publish their proposal of an updated OpenPGP specification
a) even with objections present
b) and three major implementations
RNP (used by Thunderbird)
GnuPG and
OpenPGP.js (used by Mailvelope)
present that have deployed and are using a set of new functions
that GnuPG has documented and considered a rough consensus until 2021.
Some technical arguments on this mailing lists have been brought up
in the last months, but I am not sure if they have been considered by the
working group. The email discussion archived end of march at
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/openpgp/pNkkw2r16G-q_O0Nd6eL-JFLMXU/
just shows procedural arguments refering to a resolution in September.
A good paths forward would be, if the technical arguments would be
re-considered, and deployed implementations.
Regards
Bernhard
