Distributions quote of the fortnight

We are keeping the Fedora version of GnuPG on the 2.4 branch as said above intentionally. The 2.5 [branch] started as mostly [an] experiment implementing the LibrePGP standard, which is not compatible with anything else (IETF's OpenPGP) and would likely result in users shooting themselves into their feet. I also synced couple of patches over the last years with FreePG project, which is trying to maintain the version 2.4 in a compatible manner:

Updating to 2.5 would result in new users generating incompatible LibrePGP keys, which I do not think is a good idea to do now for all Fedora users. I am hoping we will have some better solution by the time the 2.4 version will reach EOL, but I can not anticipate what it is going to be.
