If this has indeed happened, I guess the next step is
creating enough momentum for V5 key structure.
How much enthusiasm is there for this? Enough to generate
some consensus? Is there a business case for a redesign?
"doesn't use SHA1" sounds like a good V5 business case....
How much are groups going to invest into OpenPGP in the
future, and how much would they save if a redesign cleaned
things up?
If the answer is in the positive, I'd suggest putting in
place a wiki somewhere. We need some way of working on the
various parts in parallel.
