OK. That makes sense. However, I have just one problem with doing so...
I have two keys, one GPG and one PGP. My PGP key just recently got resubmitted
to the keyring-maint with a signature; my GPG key is entire untrusted. If I
switch to GPG, how can I force it to sign with my PGP key rather than my GPG
key? Or, if you're using GPG and already have a trusted PGP key, is it
really necessary to switch to a GPG key?
And, can you put RSA keys (PGP) directly into your GPG pubring/secring? It
would make sense, I've just never tried before...
