I propose that we improve the packets when we do V5, but put in the

I agree that putting in the security consideration now is a reasonable thing
to do. As for the packet format, I would like to phase out encrypted private
key packets as such. Unencrypted private key packets encapsulated into
MDC-protected encrypted packets with an S2K in front of them does the job
and leaves us with one less format to maintain. I think, V5 should not have
an encrypted version at all.
