werner added a comment to T5856: Forcing aead when creating sign & encrypted files creates inconsistent results.

Reagarding the OpenPGP specs: there is a new draft with LOTS of changes to already agreed upon formats and conducted interop tests. Almost everything we implemented in GnuPG and RNP has had rough consensus in the WG. Minor things like AEAD chunk size were the contested pieces. However, now they want to change everything with the possible outcome of discretization the long established trust in the stability and durability of the PGP data and key format.

Do you mean revoking the entire key or a user-id, or a subkey? Having a way to revoke a user-id is probably the most interesting use-case. BTW, there is no "revoke a self-signature" - this is actually a revocation of the user-id or subkey.

Folks, you are opening a can of worms. The only secure why to sign a file is to have a detached signature. That is often non-practical and thus putting the signature/MAC at one certain position and exempt just this one position from hashing is the next best alternative. Any more complicated rules will inevitably introduce security flaws. If a binary is stripped, it is a different binary than a non-stripped one, if it is linked with another linker, it is a different one. And that binary will even be able to figure this out and change behavior. Please keep it simple.
