Re: [openpgp] Bug#931238: hot armor: please drop "Version: " header

ilf:
So please:
1. let's drop it by default in other implementations, like hOpenPGP
2. let's edit rfc4880bis to "SHOULD NOT emit a Version: header"

After this mail:

1. LibTMCG dropped it by default: http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/libtmcg.git/commit/?id=2c8a6861ab839cb58b6483a04a7b584423a27811

2. Heiko Stamer submitted a pull request to rfc4880bis: https://gitlab.com/openpgp-wg/rfc4880bis/merge_requests/17

I added a comment to slighty improve the wording:

To minimize metadata, implementations SHOULD NOT emit this key and its corresponding value except for debugging purposes with explicit user consent.

If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it.
