Reading new key packages (Re: Coexistence with OpenPGP/IETF)

[Nickolay Olshevsky]

Hi Heiko,

I cannot say about the exact number but during my experience on some 
commercial OpenPGP library we had a lot of clients, including banking, 
financial and even military, who used to transfer data via automated and 
semi-automated processes, and it included usage of filename/mtime in the 
literal data packet. And even in the 2008-2010 those processes were 
already running for years and I doubt that something would rapidly 
change there if change at all.
