- From (possibly inaccurate) memory, PGP was up to somewhere around
version 8.x before it supported signing subkeys.

IIRC, older PGP versions would choke on trying to encrypt to a key
whose newest subkey was flagged for signing but not encryption, and
would use the main key to sign with. (I have no recollection of what
happened trying to verify signatures.)
