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?
My impression was that many new implementations use the RSA-S and RSA-E
algorithms for signing keys and encryption subkeys. But -- taking a look at
SKS numbers --algorithm 1 is used quite a lot.
Having a lot of algorithm 1 makes sense: RSA-S and RSA-E are deprecated, and
were made "SHOULD NOT" create in 4880, in favor of using the key flags
subpacket to indicate usage. I don't know of any current implementations that
use RSA-S or RSA-E for new keys.
