Second, as I have mentioned, in PGP Corp, we have effectively deprecated V3

all V3 keys, we wouldn't stop decrypting messages with V3 keys. That's
ludicrous.
Importing an RSA certificate as a V3 key doesn't exactly sound like
deprecation
to me. Any chance this will be corrected in PGP8 the near future? (Converting
a cert into a V4 key with appropriate algorithm preferences is not that hard.)
