There are people using v3 keys that are not using MD5 (other than the
fingerprint, obviously).  I am one of them.  My v3 key (0x560553e7) has
v4 self-signatures on it, none of which recommend MD5.  All of the
preferences are for algorithms presently considered strong (except
SHA-1, but removing that isn't possible, unfortunately).  Obviously, I'm
not using PGP 2.6, since it won't read my key.

I have moved to using a v4 key for everyday usage, but my v3 key still
has more signatures on it than my v4 key, and I am not planning on
revoking it by any means.  I still accept signatures on it and data
encrypted to it, just like I do with my v4 key.
