And, head towards the fingerprint, the whole fingerprint and nothing
but the fingerprint!  Dispense with all these weird and wonderful

I agree.  Further I am not sure whether we should do this full
fingerprint proposal right now or better wait for SHA-3.  If we would
settle now for a new fingerprint signature subpacket we will for sure
need to revise that for SHA-3.  We would need to maintain code for the
current fingerprint as well as for a SHA-3 for a little eternity.
