Does GPG have any plans on allowing MDCs with the other algorithms?  Other

I'd like to allow RIPE-MD160 if somewone wants to do this.  There is
already the option to use DSA with RIPE.  And we have these
identifiers all over the place.

But I don't have any objections to a new MDC-only packet, especially if it
has a "MDC follows" prefix packet.

The one-pass signature packet can be used for this.
