Thanks for this Robert. Great work!
As suggested by Robert, I've signed up to say:
Break backwards compatibility already: it’s time. Ignore the haters. I
trust you! :)

One of the problems with Windows is that they preserved the backwards
compatibility for far too long, so they could never clean it up enough
to make it any good. I admit that Windows 7 is better than Windows XP
that was much better than Windows 95.</pre>

Different mindsets. You call it a problem but from the perspective
of a great many Windows users, backwards compatibility (i.e.
stability) is a key feature, not a bug.<br>
<br>
However, GnuPG clearly can make backwards-incompatible progress
without dropping all maintained support for legacy decryption.<br>
