The internals are already set for multiple keyservers (opt.keyserver is a
strlist, etc.) I had to implement it for the auto-key-retrieve feature, which
does support multiple servers.

I don't want to decided whether thisis a bug. The thing is that using gpg with

clean as possible. For such use cases it is better to use gpg2.

werner added a comment to T1042: Auto-generate a revocation certificate?.

Asking to create a revocation certificate is a good idea. Frontends can make
this the default then. However, this is something for GnuPG-2 and not for the
standalone version. I expect people using the standalone version to be smart
enough to create one. Should be discussed on gnupg-devel.

werner added a comment to T1041: --multifile --sign (or: --sign multiple files in one pass).

IIRC, the sematics of sign are too complicated for --multifile. If the problem
is just to avoid entering a passphrase several times, gpg-agent is very helpful
and solves the problem nicely.

werner added a comment to T1033: Should lockfiles of 'probably dead' processes be removed?.

As it happend, I updated the locking code this week which now matches the one
used by GnuPG-2. The lock file now records the nodename of the box and if the
lock is held by the same node (machine) and the process does not exist anymore,
the lock file will be removed. Without taking the nodename in account we were
not been able to remove a lock file because the directory might be on a shared
file system.

This has been discussed several times on the mailing lists. You can't do that
because gpg needs to ask several questions. There are too many choices for a
command line mode. --sign-key makes it only easier in the most common cases. A
--force option won't help because you don't know which user ID you are going to
sign.
