I wonder if there's potential for engaging users remotely? Also, in addition to a workshop, maybe a user interface study of how users learn and interact with the tool? I feel like doing that with people who are relatively light/new users of gpg (like me, currently struggling as I wade thru a mix of docs, some of it outdated) could be beneficial.

kilobyte added a comment to T3326: gpg --delete-secret-key silently leaves gpg1/gpg2.0 secret keys intact.

99.9% users will upgrade to gpg2.1 once and never think about downgrading. On Debian for example, to get gpg 1 or 2.0 back, you'd need to rollback the whole dist-upgrade which is so tricky (and officially unsupported) that restoring the whole system from a backup is the only realistic option. Thus, offering to delete secring.gpg on key deletion wouldn't be obnoxious at all. Secret key deletion already asks a number of questions, one more wouldn't be bad. I guess deleting secring.gpg when the passphrase is being changed would be a good idea, too.

It is there for a purpose. If the distros want to enforce a certain policy, they can do that. But we can't do that.
Sure, we could print a warning note. But then we would need to print a lot of warning notes all over the place to the effect that nobody will care about that and ask for an option to silence them.

justus triaged T3278: explicit key expiration date/time is interpreted as UTC, is echoed back using local time, confusion ensues as Wishlist priority.

this discrepancy is easily explained. You are entering a date that is interpreted as UTC, and it is echoing it back using your local time zone. PST is UTC−8:00, matching the output.
