The former was proposed a couple of years ago and iirc, I was a major
voice against. Meanwhile, afterh the meltdown of the keyserver network

Better have a dedicated subpacket than having everyone squeezing it into
a proprietary notation.
That does not answer my question though.
Was this discussed in the working group? Why was it changed now in this
revision. The reason I'm asking is because people have said in the past
that changes were introduced by an author without WG consensus, so I'd

consensus to be had.
Having said that, there was certainly discussion about the "revert to 4880
requirement for a user id packet" change. I don't recall the other topic.
