The comment packet is gone at the area director's request. The uses you
give for it are good ones, but other protocols with similar features have
also had them removed. However, if you want to carry meta-data in a
pipeline, there's no reason why you can't use packets 60-63 for this. They
are specifically reserved for private or experimental use.
Okay I changed it: GNUPG now puts comments into a packet of type 61.
Comment packets of type 16 are still recognized. The first character
of all GNUPG generated comments is a ´#´.
