Re: [openpgp] Intent to deprecate: Insecure primitives

- Asymmetric algorithms, generally: RSA-ES, DSA.

Are you referring to Public Key Algorithms specifically here?  in
particular, this table:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-9.1

If so, RSA-ES (pubkey algorithm 1) is very widely used, even for keys
that are only marked for one usage (signatures or encryption).  In fact,
i don't think there are many RSA keys labeled RSA-E (algo 2) and RSA-S
(algo 3) at all.  Why treat RSA-ES separately for deprecation?

In fact, aren't the RSA-E and RSA-S algorithms basically just historical / mostly deprecated in favour of marking keys for a particular use?
