Incidentally, for this use case I'd personally recommend to use 2.1 for
everything except accessing those ancient archives, and just use 1.4 for that,
if that is something that works for you.

I'm sure you know, but the OP might not: in this case, you're scripting in a way
not approved by the GnuPG devs, i.e., using interfaces meant for humans instead
of machines.

2.1 even has some functions that 2.0 does not with regard to easy scripting
(--quick-add-[stuff] and friends). I don't know whether there is stuff that 2.0
can do that 2.1 can't at the moment, though (which is different from stability,
it's feature completeness).

HTH,

Peter.
