Kristian,
I am a little bit confused about your key design ;)

Main key has options SC.
There is an active newer signing key S, so this will be always used for
signing?

And there are two active encryption keys E:
GPG uses in my opinion only the key generated latest, isn't it?

So how to desire which key is used?

And what's about backward compatibility?

Thanks for any hint, regards, Chris
