A main point as I've understood is about how to introduce
a new format for public keys in a way to have a good user experience.

GnuPG and RNP implemented reading v5 key packages a few years ago,
so when they switch to create pubkeys files in that format,
implementation are already widespread. This is best for usability
as many users will not notive much.

It is interesting so see how large the user base for reading v5 pubkeys
already. Is does somebody know in which release GnuPG and RNP and thus email 
applications like Outlook, KMail, Claws and Thunderbird can read
v5 pubkeys?

Best Regards,
Bernhard
