Direct key signatures can of course be used but we do not have much
experience with them. I fear that some OpenPGP implementations will not
work correctly if only such a direct key self-signature is available.
Agreed, we can't change that very easily. But we can progress by allowing
partial TPKs during transit, see how implementations react, and build from
there.
