Re: including the entire fingerprint of the issuer in an OpenPGP certification

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.

If we combine it with a hash-independent fingerprint -- e.g., first byte is an 
algorithm ID, others are the actual hash -- then we can put it in now and then 
run with it.
