Apologies for this additional inquiry. I'd like to understand your 
perspective and plans a bit better:

My current understanding is that GnuPG has opted to take the LibrePGP 
route, as outlined in draft-koch-librepgp-00, in order to roll out new 
features quickly, by making only relatively small and incremental 
changes. I can see the reasoning behind this.

Also, I fully agree that the LibrePGP draft should not include 
specifications for v6 artifacts.

However, as an independent question, I wonder if GnuPG might in the 
future consider including some support for formats from 
draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh. For example enabling GnuPG users to 
verify signatures made by crypto-refresh users?

Thank you,
Heiko
