Put it the other way round - what useful purpose do they serve? I haven't
seen one yet, ergo they are junk. I don't even like the added signatures
when a key is edited, unless it is that particular signature that is edited
I would prefer to see the original signature date. Cleaning the key removes
the older ones, instead of the junk ones.

It may do with the nightly builds, but it doesn't yet work on the release
version of GPG.

Sadly, I doubt PGP corporation would take any notice of a petition - they
don't even listen to and reply their paid subscribers comments, never mind
those that don't use PGP.
