Hi Kristian,
Thanks for the link. I've studied some interesting threads.

Anyhow, I'm surprised that apparently there isn't any decision on how to
move to the next OpenPGP standard, or what it would look like. Or has
something been decided?

I just want to be updated as I haven't followed the discussion for some
years. It might be of interest for others as well.
Yours,
Per Tunedal
