Jon Callas:
My opinion (still) is that it isn't a bug, it's a feature.
I fully agree. [...]
With me as well apparently, because this:
By default GnuPG uses the expiration date of the self-signature as the
one for a key signature. This is on Florian Weimer's request and afaik
is sufficient for him and his use of the PGP PKI.
is exactly what I was asking for -- except that I want this to be
recommended in the specification [1][2] so that Florian won't have to
contact all the implementors individually [3].
