I have tried gpg2 on my Linux box and found several issues:

* gpg2 reproducibly destroyed my keyring with the following sequence of
commands:
# gpg2 --charset utf8  --no-tty --status-fd 1 --logger-fd  1 \
--command-fd  0 --ask-cert-level --edit-key <0xKeyid> trust

# gpg2 --charset utf8  --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 \
--with-fingerprint --fixed-list-mode --with-colons --list-keys

* gpg2 always uses pinentry instead of the passphrase-fd in the
following example:
# gpg2 --charset utf8  --passphrase-fd 0 --no-use-agent --no-tty \
--status-fd 1 --logger-fd 1 --command-fd 0 -u 0xD8A807C7CCEC227B \
--ask-cert-level --edit-key 9CD4D060D74A14F3 lsign

* Importing a key from a keyserver doesn't work:

gpg2 --debug-all --recv-keys 0x810271D5
