well, it's a v4 key
and i'm perfectly happy 
with it having a v4 binding sig ;-)

also OK

so,
is there any way that gnupg *could* do it?
(i.e.
--ignore-v3-signature
--unchangeable-expiration-date
--cross-certify-just-do-it-override)

or any other really cool undocumented option  ;-)

*NOT* a feature request,
i can live with it ;-)
save the work on feature requests 
for features that are really useful to many people

but if there is a workaround that can be done with existing options,
please let me know

Thanks,

vedaal
